1989 Nissan Pulsar GTi-R review from UK and Ireland
"Awesome, dragon slaying hatchback"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all has gone wrong with this car as yet.
I've only had it for a few months, so it won't really be a true test, however it hasn't demanded I empty my wallet on it yet.
General comments?
The car is awesome.
It still scares me when I floor it and always, always brings a big smile.
It sounds good, handles great and is the fastest car you can buy for the money. I'd recommend it to anyone, the running costs are high, but if you like a fast car and are prepared to pay extra for fuel it's worth it.
