1995 Nissan Bluebird LX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Reliable fast car with a shitty name"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starter motor failed ($500 fix, Nissan wanted $1100 for the part alone)
General comments?
Possibly the best car I have ever owned. For a four cylinder the bluebird outperforms six cylinder local cars with its stock 0-100km/h of 8.6 seconds. Mine has extractors, KN filter and mandrel exhuast for a nice note and power increase. Fuel economy returns under 10litres per 100km with my "spirited driving". All the creature comforts and four doors make it an excellent daily driver.
Only annoying feature is the fuel light coming on after only 38 litres of fuel has been used despite being a 60 litre tank.
