1995 Nissan Skyline GTSt review from Australia and New Zealand

"Brilliant, just brilliant!!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing at all.

General comments?

The Skyline is a gem of a car to drive. It delivers on its promise of performance when asked and rarely if ever bites the hand that feeds it. The handling on bitumen is smooth and for the most part without drama, that is you can get away with more than most cars by virtue of the fact that Nissan developed the Skyline first and foremost as a performance car, it's not a family tank that has had performance forced upon it like the Commodore and Falcon. Comfort and practicality run in second place.

Corners can be taken at speeds in excess of normal limits without drama, the HICAs 4 wheel steering takes care of understeer and makes power oversteer a cruise even to the uninitiated. Its handling on gravel is nothing short of amazing considering its Japanese road heritage. I've driven on gravel at way high speeds for 20 years in countless cars and 4wds and this car is the dux guts!!

Another great feature of the turbo 2.5 motor is the good fuel economy. I have managed 35mpg on a 300km trip to the country and we regularly get 28mpg in the city. Having said that, if the hammer is used injudiciously, ie. with gay abandon, the force fed 2.5 six will rapidly consume the fossil fuel reserves of a small Arab nation.

All said and done I'm glad we got the Skyline over the BMW 325 that we had planned to get..
