1990 Nissan Pulsar GL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first purchased her, the instrument cluster wasn't working properly. Fuel gauge didn't work at all and the speedo was off.
Starter motor began to fail 2 years after purchase.
Radiator was replaced at 140000kms.
Front suspension was pretty shot when I bought her.
General comments?
Really happy with the car. She's only a 1.6 and not very powerful, but has enough go in her to get me around. 3rd gear is particularly punchy.
She's my first car and has been very reliable; never broken down and starts every time. Never have to worry about her reliability, which is great.
Very comfy front seats. For an 18 year old, she still driving really well.
