1989 Nissan Pulsar NX review from North America
"Great sporty little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
-Had to change tires 6 months after I got it.
-Change brake pads
-Water pump broke.
-Replace the clutch.
-Replace the clutch cable.
-The engine light comes on without no reason. It's probably some kind of computer problem.
-Change one headlight
-Oil leaks
-Power steering leaks
-Timing chain guide fell of.
General comments?
Even though a lot has gone wrong with this car I still believe Nissan is a great make. It had so many miles on it when I got it so some of the repairs were expected.
-The T-top and the hatchback are great.
-Plenty of room for the driver and one passenger, but back sit gets very cramped.
-Great sporty look and good acceleration.
-Replacement parts are cheap.
-I drove it 45 miles a day in stop and go traffic and it didn't start giving me any serious trouble till after 155000
-Compared to some of the newer American cars I've test driven lately, the Nissan feels safer and more solid... no cheap plastic.
