You guys better stop worshipping the Dugong, aka The VIOS.

Between a SENTRA and a VIOS, get a SENTRA, get the 1.8L version and enjoy a better ride, better power than VIOS, and of course, bigger car than VIOS.

The 1.8L version, yes, somewhat proven have better FC than the 1.6L.
Just like their Cefiro 3.0L has better FC than the 2.0L.

Dude. Before you "follow the blind mouse which leads the blind mouse" and generalize about Sentra.......

If you think VIOS maintenance is lower than Nissan, You are still wrong. Both of them have low maintenance.
When I read this, I was thinking "WTF? Someone thinks that owning a Nissan is like maintaining a BMW?"

In fact the Nissan Sentra has already gained the reputation of proven reliability from the legendary Nissan Sunny to the Sentra B13 (genting taxi version), to even commercial Nissan Vanettes, which actually still uses legendary DATSUN 120Y engines.

Did u also know, that Nissan Sunny was once before, an official, national taxi, before the selfish G/Proton made it vanish and replaced it with Saga/Iswara and now Saga BLM? Did you know also, that Genting taxi are still running up and down in Genting, and they are ALOT older than the new Sentra N16. So what does that tell you about Nissan's reliability?

Also, Google up/search up before you generalize,
If u are interested in the 1.8 version search for year 2003. Slightly less than RM 50K. Year 2004, RM 55K.
Go and search yourself in Motortrader.

I tell you la, the best is to get yourself a VIVA . Lowest fuel consumption, lowest maitenance. Even VIOS can't match VIVA's fuel economy. But that's what you aim for, right? But that's what you don't want (a small car), I'm sure.

If I might add, between VIOS and LATIO (new), I'll go for LATIO
Because I like their wooden interior trimming, it's 1.6L and doesn't have that dull looking interior in the Dugong and at least I am away from the "too common" VIOS. VIOS is fast becoming the next common "Proton Wira" on the road.

Price also starts from RM84,680.00 for manual version or RM88,980.00 onwards for the Auto version.


Okay, seriously, TS, go and check out the Sentra rather than listening to others bashing about Sentra "old la" and VIOS "latest technology, safe fuel la..etc". Follow your heart.
