1989 Nissan Pintara GLi review from Australia and New Zealand
"A reliable practical car with hidden talent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Apart from a persistent oil leak in the engine, this is one of the most reliable cars I've known. Nothing ever seems to go wrong with it.
General comments?
Everything's good about it, except, obviously for a 4 cylinder it's a little tired. But still it's a very comfortable reliable car, and has the legs when you need them.
