Nissan Exalta

Hi All,

Comments nyo about the 2003 sentra/exalta? Pretty dissapointed with it, honestly...nawala pagka sporty nya; ok na ok na ung first na exalta eh.

Is it true the 1.3L version has 93 horses? Baka naman sa controlled environment lang to a...pero kung totoo, it's the most powerful 1.3L car i've come across so far...

It was never meant to be a sportscar. I like it as it is. A good everyday car.

The base model, with its black accents, does look a lot sportier (very European ang theme).

Fuel injected ang 1.3 ng Sentra. Unlike others na carb. This could account for the increased power.

...ok siya. underrated lang talaga dito nissan, dunno why.

hmmm, kung presyo kasi pag uusapan, parang konti lang diperensya between an equally-spec'd nissan and toyota; and since buying cars isn't like buying shirts(pag di mo type, bigay mo sa kapatid mo B), people would rather go for the tried and true toyota(hmmm..potential catch phrase sa next ad nila ;).

mahirap bang maghanap ng parts?

ok naman yung bagong exalta a... i don't like the bug-eyed rear lights and the bug-eyed dash design though. it's got a great interior as far as local compact cars go and lots of nifty features to play with, although parang masikip yung rear seat compared to other compact sedans if i remember right

Have the casa clean the MAF (mass air flow) sensor everytime you go in for a service. Its very sensitive to dirt. I noticed a night and day difference in our Exalta performance after i had our cleaned. I also changed the intake, added 15" tires and stiffer gas shocks to improve on the performance.

On a sidenote, one of the Nissanbayan members took a 1.3 Exalta (bone-stock) in run-What-you-brung in Subic. He bagged 3rd place in bracket D.

FYI lang... a 1st gen Honda City has 95HP..... 1.3L PGMFi engine. at that time it was the most powerful (in terms of HP) 1.3L engine... ewan ko lang ngayon....
