what do you guys think is the nicest looking color to get the new Sentra in? I'm still deciding between Inferno and Blackout.

HA . .. I had to make the same choice. I actually like the Inferno better, but I went with the black because I liked it almost as well, and they had one with the exact options I wanted (no sunroof, SE, performance package, auto). I live in New England, so I don't use a sunroof that often, and didn't want to shell out the extra cash for it.

personally I think Avalanche is the best, with Granite a close second then Radium. Thats just my 2 cents, later

I've always loved silver as a color for cars. Radium is the closest I got. It looks a little darker than in the commercials, but she's my baby and I love her the way she is...

Of the two I would go with Inferno. The dealer I went to only had Radium and Out of the Blue (does anyone have this color?) and I chose Radium of course.

When I was looking though, they had every color in GXE. They all had the same amount of dirt on them, but black looked the most dirty IMO. I don't think any of the colors look bad though

The problem with Black and dark colors: They are hot. When sitting in the sun they take longer to get cool. It costs more to cool them which decreases gas milage. Ya can't keep 'em looking clean unless that is your full time job.

The problem whth White/ Avalanche. You will get sick and tired of the color- or lack thereof. Good thing: they stay cooler (Good thing)

I have had red and blue cars and don't want any more of them.

Personally I like the Radium- it has the best of all worlds. I went with the Cappuccino because it was available. If I had to choose again I might actually choose it.

Hey man: its your money. I would just stay away from Black. Am I starting to feel a hammer falling on me??????

I agree, go with anything other than black. It might looks slick in pictures and on tv but it is a ***** to clean. I love my car, but it is the last black car I will ever own.

I had wanted blue. The same shade as my Dad's 75 Vette featured below. (Ignore the damage.)

Alas, blue wasn't available on the '00 SE's, so I choose Heatwave (Red.)

My last car was black, and I just couldn't keep that thing clean if my life depended on it.

WHOA. Black is the ****! I will probably stick with black with almost any car I own situation permitting. I love my black 200 and keeping it clean isn't that bad, you just need to make it habitual!

I have had my black Se for 5 days and I have already washed it 7 times. LOL. I don't like it when its dirty b.c it is kinda grey from all the salt,so I have been washing it constantly untill it gets warm enough to put on a couple of coats of wax. I have vaccumed out the inside everyday too. Call me obsessed but I love how a clean car looks. LOL

How many folks out there have "Out of the Blue?" I havn't seen one anywhere. I'm torn between that color Granite, and Inferno.

Haha, its not about love wes. Trust me I love my car. But when you go to school during the day and don't get out of work til 5 its kinda hard to keep her clean. I have to...gulp... take it to the car wash to keep it clean and wash it on the weekend. It is a brushless carwash but it breaks my heart everytime I take it there. Oh well, I supposed it'd be the same with any car in these crappy new england winters.

Black SER. I feel your pain. Ya know I am not as particular about cars as I once was except you can eat out of the engine compartment with any of my three cars. I realize you can go to Zanino boards and read to the nth degree about the care of finishes. However, after not polishing my '94 Toyota truck (gulp-not Nissan) for 1 1/2 years. I took my trusty Meguiar's Cleaner/Wax and did the dirty deed. 99 out of 100 people would say"Damn- that looks good" Point is couple of hours work and the rest really is just history.

Later- I've got to get back to that Bloody Mary.

Hey I think black is a great color on a car but I do agree it's very hard to keep clean...I picked the red! '00 heatwave

I'd say black, too, but I've got a couple of black cars, and they are about impossible to keep clean... Oh well - the price you pay for good looks.
