1993 Nissan Skyline GT review from Australia and New Zealand
"Cheap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Automatic transmission is terrible, six months after the purchase of the car I had problems.
The third gear would slip and cause the engine to rev high then slam into gear.
Gradually got worse to the point were it felt like I was driving with the hand brake on, and the gas consumption got higher.
General comments?
Bad body roll when cornering.
Under powered with a standard 2L engine.
Not much room in the back seats.
Small boot space.
Engine seemed strong never had any problems or oil leaks.
Air condition is strong and quick.
Good driving vision, no major blind spots.
Brakes pretty good considering the size of the car, never had problems.
Would I purchase again,... NO! would I recommend... NO! feels like a cheaply mass produced car no thought has gone into this car whilst in the design stage.
My recommendation is to purchase a second hand BMW or any other european made car.
