1987 Nissan Skyline TI review from Australia and New Zealand
"One of the great cars of all time"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Other than the power steering reservoir losing fluid, this car has had absolutely no problems in my 8 years of ownership. This was a very minor problem, which has been present for many years, and has used less than 100mL of replacement fluid over the time.
No other problems, other than regular servicing.
General comments?
This has to be one of the most reliable cars ever built. It held up well to years of daily driving and a large amount of kilometers. The car never broke down, and other than regular maintenance, has driven flawlessly.
The car is quite quick, despite its age, and is one of the best handling cars of its or subsequent generations.
If your are looking for years of happy trouble free motoring, this is the car.
