I drove a 2013 Sentra and it seems to not be as rubber-bandy feeling. It also feels like the engine is connected to the wheels in a lot more substantial way than the Versa. It acts a lot like a manual with a clutch up taking off, then the revs just stay the same. Doesn't seem to be as rubber band-y feeling as the 2011

Was it an early Versa or the current Versa sedan? The early US-spec ones had a 4-speed slushbox.
