I didn't agree with you.
My last car was a 2013 SI coupe.
I liked it but if I compare with my 2017, I prefer the later for several reasons.
I am not talking about the design, the interior finish, the technology...
I am talking about the mechanics :
the torque ( 200 wtq versus 140 wtq ), the braking, the road handling,
the rigidity of the body, the steering, the gear change, the general balance
of the car with the heavier 2.4 l engine......the 2017 is far superior.
It is true that the engine goes up 7200 rpm but after 6500 it's useless
because it develops only 170 whp and we have the impression that
it's a waste of time, it'sbetter to shift.
But that's your opinion, your taste and I respect that.

P.S: the values indicated have been checked on a dyno.
And if you're not convinced, here are some more :
2013 : 0-100km/h : 7.8 s
2017 : 7.2 s
Virginia International Raceway :
2013 : 3.23 s
2017 : 3.14.6 S

As I mentioned, it's not about the speed or power, this would be a project car. Plus a used 10th gen would cost me around $20k!

My ‘19 is my garage queen, my ole Sentra is the beater and commuter car for sure since I drive just 30k a year for work, although since my lady got her new passport we’ve been driving that more lately.
