1993 Nissan Bluebird sss review from Australia and New Zealand
"A sensible performance sleeper"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far nothing major.
The engine bay is very clean, and there are no hints of any type of leaks, of any kind.
The cassette player doesn't like to play all types of tapes, and tends to malfunction when it gets too hot.
The CD player also doesn't like to work until it has cooled. These things usually occur after getting into the car after it has been parked in the sun for a period of time.
General comments?
The bluebird is extremely comfortable, and a very underrated vehicle.
I feel that it is the best medium sized vehicle in it's class for it's time, and even today performs better than a lot of the current medium sized vehicles.
It is very quiet and comfortable, and is somewhat of a 'sleeper' for the uninitiated.
The interior is superb, with excellent materials. All controls are easy to reach, and logical in there placement.
The head-up display for the speedometer is very practical, and it is a mystery to me why this feature never caught on, it is very convenient.
The fuel economy is a revelation for the performance the vehicle offers. I routinely achieve well under 8.0L/1ookm from the 60L fuel tank.
