1987 Nissan Pulsar review from North America
"A High Performance Bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing that has gone wrong with my Nissan Pulsar NX was the electrical contacts behind the cluster (the RPM display) were a little faulty. The RPM display started reading redlines when in fact it should only be reading 1,000 RPM or 2,000 RPM--It was reading at 8,000 RPM. That is all.
General comments?
My general comments are that the Nissan Pulsar is a very staunch, very comfortable and very cool car to drive. It's T-Top really put you in the center of the attention of other people.
It accelerates very quickly and handles very well. However, the space inside isn't exactly the most spacious, but it will do because of the sporty design.
Mine produces around 113 horsepower, with almost the same amount of torque to provide those times when you need to accelerate quickly (highway mergers).
Overall, awesome car.
