This mid cycle refresh of the engine to me is a sign that the next gen sentra will be going back to its sporty routes. I wasn't expecting this car to be anything special just cuz it has a turbo/manual.
But the manual whiners were complaining that all cars were becoming floppy paddled. Here comes a Nissan product with a stick and a turbo. The evolution of this first year is in my opinion the importance of this car. If they make a 215HP Nismo, that would be good. It's not a car I'd personally buy. Not my taste. But the brand needs to focus on tradition. I would call a turbo manual Japanese tradition.
It's a start. Cuz Nissan has been falling off.
