1988 Nissan Bluebird GS review from UK and Ireland
"Block of Flats on wheels!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gearbox finally went which is common for a Nissan of this age, other than that nothing at all.
General comments?
Came with quite a bit of service history and it showed as after 15 years of service everything was still working including all the electrics and stereo equipment, other manufacturers should take note.
Very comfortable over long distances and laughed at all the motorway miles I threw at it with not too bad fuel economy for a 1.8.
Not the fastest car on the road, but very good value for money, extremely reliable and with mod cons that were not seen on other cars for a good 5 years after they stopped making the bluebird.
Not the best looking of cars and not for boy racers since the handing is a bit timid, but for anyone who needs a car for motorway use as well as moving the contents of their house then this is the one for you.
