Is the 2024 Nissan Sentra NISMO a BETTER sport compact car than a Civic Type R?

The Sentra isn’t the worlds most exciting vehicle in base form, but this vehicle works because Nissan understands the most important components of a sports car. You don’t need to go 0-60 in 3 seconds if the car is fun and engaging.

A turbo'd Sentra with 300+hp and a 6spd manual trans sounds amazing....but what would matter just as much (if not more) is how it actually feels and performs in the real world.

I absolutely need one of these. Like Joe said, I had a 2000 Sentra SE-R Spec V in high school. I leaned how to drive a manual with it. LOVED that thing. I would buy this new Sentra in a heartbeat.

That is so fantastic!

[@sixsixST2]

The first car I bought right out of high school with my own money was a 2002 Sentra SE-R Spec V; so seeing this makes me happy. Hopefully they actually build it. I'd be very interested in it about about a year or so when my oldest son starts driving.

[@Mend_Kris]

Glad to see Nissan changing back to how it used to be. I kinda wish they will change the the body of the car, but can't complain that Nissan actually FINALLY producing something interesting to bring back the old Nissan fans. It really got my attention. I'm happy with manual gear box. Thanks to Nissan for listening to your fans. Quality and Performance.

No Nissan fan is a fan of a Sentra. Every Nissan fan only likes the z’s, Silvia’s, and the GTRs. These cars don’t compare at all.

Nissan, bring the Sentra NISMO to production. Many would buy it in a heartbeat, specially those that had a SE R SpecV back in the day. Great daily driver with fuel economy but enough power to have fun I and not break the gas bank 😅

I think you are spot on

This is exactly what I was thinking. I had an SE-R Spec V and loved the thing to death.

Yes this needs to be built, I currently drive a 2017 Nissan Sentra SR Turbo midnight edition. I hope this will be an awesome improvement in power and performance!

[@TeamCheckered]

I’m interested in getting the 2017 Nissan Sentra sr turbo with 61k miles. Is it worth it?

[@stevensingleton7866]

I do think that it’s a fun car to drive, however mine has a manual transmission not the CVT automatic. It’s not super fast, it’s essentially 4 cylinder Altima like power in a smaller Sentra package. All I can say is thoroughly test drive it for yourself and make a decision from there.

[@juanticimo]

I always thought the Spec V was a killer competitor to the civic Si. It would be rad for Nissan to bring that back.

[@Holmesson]

The Sentra SE-R Spec-Vs were pretty quick and handled well, but they were absolute garbage. A friend of mine's Spec-V threw a rod right through the block on a road trip from Texas back to Kansas. Engine failures were typical. The rest of the cars fell apart over the years due to shit build quality and terrible reliability, which is a shame. I used to be a big Nissan guy. I owned a '93 Sentra SE-R, which was SR20DE-T swapped. That car was ridiculously fun and stupid fast. I also owned a 5-Speed Maxima SE and a 240SX fastback. I always figured I'd import an R32 Skyline GT-R someday, but life took me in several different directions. I hope this new Sentra rocks. I hope it performs well and makes Nissan some money, so they can up their game and start cranking out awesome cars with solid build quality again. Cheers 🍻

[@YAHsharal12]

I had a 2002 and 2011 Spec V and it wasn't hiccup free but it was pretty reliable for me. There was a recall on the 2002 2.5l but never had another problem except c.o.p issue. Transmission issue on 2011 (2x) but I think that was poor repair by mechanic and partial hard driving and also c.o.p issue. Old Nissan was at least top 3, but now...😐 Wish they would ditch that cvt though😔

[@SiCaRiI_DaGgEr]

@@Holmesson I have to respectfully disagree, engine failure was not typical for the Spec, I still have my original Spec V. The paint is in great shape and the motor is still going strong with ZERO issues, the only major repair I had to do with it in the past 20yrs was the lower control arms and that was 2 weeks ago. The only 2 things that needed to be done were reliability mods such as removing the close coupled cat and install a header, and also locktite the butterfly valves. Other than that these cars are rock solid. There are several Facebook groups that are heavily active and Jim Wolf is still producing engine build parts for the QR. It's a GREAT car that I will never get rid of. Sounds like your buddy drove his Spec like he stole it as it is VERY hard to throw a rod on a stock motor especially with the Spec's low rev limit at 6200rpm's.

[@Holmesson]

@@SiCaRiI_DaGgEr Hey, that's great that you've had zero issues with yours, but Nissan had recall thousands upon thousands of Spec-V's, Altimas, and whatever else used the QR25DE due to the reasons you listed and more: the stock pre-cats getting sucked into the engine, destroying the piston rings and blowing motors due to material interference or extreme oil consumption/starvation - and the 4 butterfly valves that open by vacuum at 5k RPM which have screws that get sucked into the engine and destroy the piston rings and cylinder walls. I can't remember which occurred to my buddy's car, but a fatal mixture of one of these issues paired with spirited driving ultimately resulted in a rod going straight through his block. I remember the carnage well... I saw the pictures. That said, I'm sure there are plenty of reliable examples out there that haven't had these issues. I'm glad you can count yours among them. It sounds like you were aware of the potential engine destroying issues and addressed them accordingly. Hope it continues to give you thousands of trouble-free miles. Cheers!

[@Briannotacrazy]

I would definitely purchase this. I love my 22 Nissan Sentra SR but the only negative feedback I give is that it is not fun to drive. With a NISMO version I would look forward to driving & having over 300HP would easily make this one of the best cars to get. I know that the 24 version has a new facelift but I personally prefer the 20-23 look so hopefully it stays looking as you demonstrated it!

[@rodolfotorres1602]

Same here with everything you said! I have a 21 SR, is perfect except is not fun to drive. Waaay to slow. I’ll trade mine in for the Nismo in a heartbeat.

As an owner of a very low mileage 2017 Sentra Nismo, I'd love to see this produced. B17 was a bit of an old platform and everything I've read about the B18 has been positive except for lack of power and the soul-sucking cvt. Just give it enough power this time. Upgrades that made it into the Juke RS never made it to the Sentra Nismo. Had it had the power/tune of the Juke RS it would have been a true Civic Si competitor.

I've owned several B13 SE-Rs and B13 NX2000. This car gets a thumbs up. I hope there is a factory SE-R or Nismo for this gen. It is very good looking and has the independent rear suspension again. I've been telling friends and coworkers that Nissan needs to drop the Juke 1.6T or the 1.8T from the Alpine A110 into a Sentra and make a B18 SE-R/Nismo. Oh technically the car should be a DDT. DET would go with a port injection engine.

[@ruebzrandomreactionz3488]

They have better turbos than the Jukes 1.6 and besides they used the 1.6 on the 2016 model of the Sentra Nismo it only pumped out about 188 horsepower.I thought they were gonna slap the 2.0 VC turbo from the Altima/Q50 or at least the 1.5 VC turbo from the Rogue which gets around 201 horsepower. The 2.0 from the Altima/q50 would definitely be able to get to 300 horsepower easily. I got a tune on my Altima 2.0 it gets around 305 horsepower and about 328 lbs of torque. It would of been really fun on the Sentra with a manual.

With the positive reception I've seen around this concept for the past few months, I actually have some confidence Nissan will shoot their shot and put it in production. The fact they actually made a concept of a sport compact again shows that they know there is a market they are missing currently. I personally think they should use both the NISMO and SE-R nameplate. Have a "base" Sentra SE-R then a slightly more upgraded Sentra SE-R Nismo, similar to how the B15 and B16 had the Sentra SE-R and Sentra SE-R Spec V. That would allow them to pay tribute to the older SE-R models while also going forward with the NISMO name that they have pretty much fully shifted towards. However, Nissan has to do it right this time. The B17 Sentra Nismo was a pretty lame excuse of a sport compact, so they really need to put the effort in to not drop the ball again.

Fingers crossed that they do.

I loved my 2006 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V. I wish they could go back to those roots.

The sport compact market has been so neglected by manufacturers. Hope Nissan makes this.

How much does it cost? I’m about to trade in my 22 Sentra for a 24 Sentra. I didn’t know this option was available

[@jaimescorner]

Absolutely 100% interested I'll trade my Si right now for that bad boy.

[@RaitisRides]

Oh wow that is serious!

As someone who was forced to convert his 7th generation Maxima from cvt to 6spd manual, I definitely find it cool that @Nissan finally did something remotely exciting by going with a manual trans! Btw, Is that thing rocking a variation of the legendary SR20?

Bring it to production Nissan!

[@RaitisRides]

I like the way you think

[@noWatimsayin1]

Love to see nissan making cool cars again

[@tonytonetony2475]

BUILD IT! As another said, this needs a good LSD if it will have 300+ hp. Also would love to see full LED in the rear.

[@danielmahoney5391]

Nissan needs this Nismo Sentra, in 6 speed and automatic…it will sell big.
