if i were to buy a sentra then, i would rather get the 1600cc variant if FC is almost the same.

anyway i agree with romeldinho. its tiring to drive when you're stuck in traffic but once the GX gathers momentum, its not that bad.

on my GF's 04 GX, it gets around 8-9km/liter. wish it could be better.

Yes, just get the 1600cc instead since i believe they dropped the price already. Too bad though, the usdm sentra C16 (or is it b16 chassis code?) might never arrive in our shores since nmpi follows Yulon...

I just hope they bring in the tiida.

as for the old GX, according to my SA *NGO, mas mataas FC nung unang version. ung '08 is much more fuel efficient.. he was saying something about open/closed loop something. kaso sobrang antok ko na, nde ko na masyadong naintindihan :D

i think there's some truth to that, kasi, i'm doing 10km/l now na pure city driving.. a km or two higher than those who posted here..

the c16 variant has 2L engines as stock... and if they bring it here, it's not going to be as profitable for NMPI... not too many are thrilled with getting gas guzzlers..

as it is, marami pa ren silang nabebentang units considering it's (n16) already aged.. especially fleet taxis

its nice to hear that the 08 sentra gx are now fuel efficient. kaya lang nasa end cycle na yung current model. NMPI should have done that way before pa. a little market research would have helped them a lot.

btw, yeah they sold a lot not only as taxis but as company cars din. i heard from this Pharmaceutical Co. that they're no longer getting the Sentra, mainly because of its FC. they are now purchasing the Vios, and next year, the all-new City.
