Both are good for daily drivers, put if you want performance and handling, and better future tunning... specV. If you want something more laid back, better styling, go vic.

yes your right, sr20det (red top silver top and black top) > k20a (a2 and a3), but swapping sr20det for qr motor is not an easy task, so with the engine and tranny, axles, ecu and all that **** it will cost you around 6-8k, now swapping k20a2 for a d17, now you can do it for like 4k so you still got those 2 k to playaround with. IMO civic's looks > sentra's looks

SR20s are pretty much bullet proof, but it is like swapping a b18 into a 7thgen. You do it because there are lots of parts and you know what to do, but the technology isn't nearly as sophisticated as the QR25 or the K20.
