1992 Nissan Sunny GTi from UK and Ireland - Comments

Absolutely nothing in 3 years of ownership since 1996. Serviced regularly but not by Nissan main dealer. Car standard and suspension/tyres/brakes would benefit from upgrade to deal with performance.

Forget Golf Gti's, if you're man enough to overlook the image and tell people you drive a Sunny - you'll get a cracking car that is both reliable and (relatively) cheap to run, that'll outrun most Golf's - for a fraction of the price.

GTiR must be a blast!

I can't wait to get my first GTi-R, I'm 20 years old, the only problem I can see with this great car is that the insurance group is 19 so it would be a while before I could get insured without spending a couple of grand!!

Great site Steven.

You are right about the GTI-R. More than a blast, it is crackers. Try one - I think you'll like it!!!

Try 4-5 grand insurance mate.

Dunno, I have 1 years no claims and I was quoted just over 2000 fully comp with Tescos for a GTi-R.

Gonna go look at a GTi tonight, only 1700 insurance.

Still excellent performance, but it's not 220 bhp only 143, the GTi-R is the daddy.

GTI is good for what it is, and a good 1st step to the GTi-R.

There are turbo kits available, so once mine is looking the dogs, that will get slapped on to produce mega power (220bhp+). Grouped with nitrous, no-one will touch you! Insurance on this GTi is £1300 through Tesco (one ban, 21 year old), you really shouldn't pass this pocket rocket by, it's a scream, and loads more fun than the Golfs (of which I have owned 4 Gti's) and convert from VW fan!

If you have the dough, get the GTi-R, if you want to do it in stages get this and add the turbo kit later (or save for!) but you won't get the 4x4 capabilites (though who says that's any fun? :p)

Had a '92 sunny gti (uk model) and was thoroughly reliable.

Dropped on 17's, cone filter gave it lovely grunt. surprised plenty of people. negatives? brakes are crap, and steering also. Trying to get parts too, even though it was not an import!
