The 2007 Nissan Sentra SE-R improves on the standard Sentra’s styling with a revised nose and tail, different wheels and tires, and other visual distinctions like headlights, taillights and fog lights. However, like the previous model, the new SE-R can’t quite overcome the dowdiness of the base car. It’s a stubby compact, with short overhangs and a tall greenhouse that looks especially frumpy when compared to the sleek Civic Si sedan or the smooth European styling of the Volkswagen GTI. It’s not exactly ugly, and in yellow it’s certainly eye-grabbing, but it doesn’t make us drool, either.
