For those who need to temper their behind-the-wheel fun with a host of more practical considerations, the SE-R makes a whole lot of sense. Even the edgier Spec V maintains a level of overall civility that allows it to serve admirably as a daily driver.
Hard-core enthusiasts may deem that the upgraded suspension tuning on both of these two Super Sentras – but particularly the SE-R – is still too soft, and criticize them for permitting excessive body motion when cornering – but it would take a pretty hard-core enthusiast to do so.
