1987 Nissan Pulsar NX review from North America
"Sporty, economical, reliable, but slow"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I needed to replace the head gasket. I knew I would have to do this before I purchased the vehicle. I loved the look of the car.
Body has minor rust. It needs a paint job badly.
General comments?
Being my first car, so far I am happy with it. With only one problem, I have to admit I am impressed.
For a little while I wanted to get rid of it. While my friend's drove around in their newer sports cars, I was unsatisfied with the performance of this vehicle.
But my friends are also thousands of dollars in debt. I, however have paid off the car in 3 months and ready for a new paint job.
The car however, a gorgeous and reliable little vehicle and I was crazy to think about selling it. Once you have T-Tops, you don't want anything else.
I am starting to put money into the car to make it look and sound nicer. I can do this since it is very reliable.
I love this car, it has everything I need, but speed. But it is good enough for now. I am only 17. For my first car it's a pretty cool car.
