I agree, but as we all know it's a b!tch to keep clean. She got it used and it was exactly what she was looking for, even the black, much to my dismay.
Oh, did I mention, I'm the car wash/detail guy in the family?

EEK!!! The civic is about as unique as a white picket fence. The SE-R will stomp a mud hole in the poor SI in all categories except for gas mileage.

There were only around 12k of the SE-R's built compared to how many 100,000's of thousands of the picket fences??



Just say no to the picket fence please!

dude. listen to me- get a used bmw 325i.
i get 25mpg city, and the bimmer would whoop an altima se-r's arse in the corners. i got my car for $19k out the door with 45k miles. if you have never driven a bmw, you need to go test drive one. its phenominal.

Top Gear did a test of the new 2008 Si sedan to the older 2004 Si sedan. They said the 2008 handles worse, feels cheaper, looks uglier, is slower, and is more expensive when you are getting less.

and i swear ive seen Altima SE-Rs before.............

Yes you have seen a Nissan Altima SE-R the 2005 and 2006 version, I don’t remember if there was a 2004? On the current platform there is no SE-R. Nissan likes to tease us, I don’t know if Nissan is waiting to see if the 2009 Maxima is a hit or do a mid-cycle introduction like the previous generation Altima.

haha a civic si sedan, not even close to an altima ser, the new altima caupe with the vq35 and 6 speed is the only thing close enough to an ser, im waiting for nissan to come out with an ser maxima as well.

my cousin has an se-r. i wasn't too impressed. nice interior and sport feel, but the performance was average.

Speaking of white picket fences, I swear that Chicago must be Nissan's #1 market for the Ultima. I can't go 1 day with out seeing 10 Ultima sedans. They are everywhere here. It's rare that I see a Frontier.

Borrowed the roomy's Ultima yesterday to drive way out to a gunshow. Saw 2 Frontiers. That always happens to me when I'm not in my Fronty.
