Still a dull car. Not quite as dull as a base Sentra, but not enough of an improvement to turn it into something fun. TBH, it really dilutes the 'Nismo' name.

In this case, with a car that weighs close to 3000 pounds, 188 bhp out of a turbo 4 is pretty uninspiring, especially from a manufacturer's performance division.

Like most Nissan products, this will probably be available for 50% of its original price tag in 2 years and it will still be pretty weak even then!


Nissan tries hard, but just never seem to hit the mark anymore.

I would totally rock one of these. They look like they'd be hilarious.

The way these specs look, the car is about the same performance as the base Juke, which I drove quite alot a couple years ago. that thing was the same engine and same weight and honestly felt kinda peppy around town , up to 35 or 40, but that was about it.

Do they no longer have the SE-R trim?

Now that we have the Nismo Juke and Nismo Sentra, the Nismo name seems very watered down.

Correct, there is no SE-R model. Even so, the last SE-R model available was forgettable.

And yeah I agree. Nissan is doing a great job of destroying whatever street/track cred they ever had with their Nismo brand.
