Nissan Skyline GT-R R32

Advantages: Performance i.e. 0-60mph in 4.9secs as standard, fun factor, tuning options
Disadvantages: Expensive to fix, mpg, interior

My first review!... it shall be about something that gave me ALOT of pleasure and some headaches... this is my experience and not drawn from other reviews. I was lucky enough to own an olde-worldy 1992 GT-R in 2006 for 1 year. She was black, a Cat D damaged car (that had been repaired - not a very good repair). It was fairly standard (for a Skyline), apart from a 'stage 1 chip' (no proof of this), an aftermarket s/s exhaust, aftermarket airfilter, ...
...Condition wise it wasn't the best... it had been resrayed in parts but not to a very high standard. The engine (78k miles) appeared and proved itself to be reliable and strong... no strange noises, always started. Brakes were fine, very strong. Interior was good, drivers seat slightly worn. Thoughts on the car? The aesthetics of it, even though it was the earliest GT-R, were incredible imho. Imposing, purposeful, even intimidating... but without ...

Review of Nissan Skyline

Nissan Qashqai urban legend but Buyer Beware read to the bottom

Advantages: 1st class economy and passenger safety
Disadvantages: Dubious build quality

...second-hand Qashqais SO LOOK OUT, Nissan don’t seem too concerned about it. One final negative is tyre wear. At 24,000 miles, the front tyres were in need of replacement, these days I would expect closer to 50,000 miles from a modern tyre. The service manager at Glyn Hopkin confirmed that wear did seem a ‘bit high’ on Qashqais – no kidding ! That’s it though, honestly, I still love the car but in about a years’ time when I come to think of replacing ...

Review of Nissan Qashqai 1.5 dCi

Nissan Pixo is a great city car

Advantages: Economy, driving experience, pretty much everything!
Disadvantages: No rev counter (though it wouldn't bother most people!)

...than Micras, almost like a Nissan Note's much prettier and less chunky little sister. As anyone who has shopped for a small car will probably realise, the waiting lists since the scrappage scheme started have been huge. The Nissan Pixo is no exception - we got ours quickly as it just happened that the day we visited the showroom someone had cancelled an order, so we snapped it up. The salesman informed us that these cars are so popular under the ...
...this little car. It's an ideal city car in my opinion, and does its job for me economically and efficiently. It's probably not one for true petrol heads but is just great for getting from A to B. A brilliant little car from Nissan. Summary: A Nissan triumph! ...

Review of Nissan Pixo 1.0

A worthy little car with unusual looks

Advantages: Package, to drive, nippy, economical, relaible
Disadvantages: To many, its looks will put people off

...have issued is not a Nissan Micra. It’s an anniversary probably no one knew much about, 25 years is a long time & a milestone worth celebrating. However, this anniversary in the middle of a recession was only probably celebrated by a handful of marketing people & the odd factory worker. What am I on about? Well the 25th anniversary of the humble Nissan Micra recently happened; did it have much effect on you? No I thought not, much the same with ...
...to run & reliable. NISSAN MICRA If there is one single thing that may put you off buying the new Micra it will probably be its looks. Although a subjective matter looks are important & the new Micra is certainly different against normal small cars. It’s the ‘bug eyed’ headlamps that do it for most, those lamps are not fitted like most cars at the very front of the car but they are placed back into the bonnet line close to the windscreen. It does ...

Review of Nissan Micra 1.4 16v

Nissan Note N-tec hits the mark

Advantages: storage space, head and leg room, style, pleasant and tasteful dashboard, good road holding
Disadvantages: long but still narrow, styling of the seats is unadventurous

...we found ourselves in the Nissan showroom. I had always liked the look of the Nissan Micra but the car had always been too small for our needs. Then I spied the Note. Ir resembled the Micra but in a chunky family sized way. The shape, feel and space won over my wife and the shape, size and technology won me. Headroom is good and there's plenty of legroom throughout the Note. I found myself moving the front passenger seat forward this morning, so ...
...(N-tec) in built sat nav. Nissan Connect comes as standard on the N-tec and allows you to receive a basic satellite navigation service on the user friendly very visible dashboard screen. It is easy to program but fairly basic compared to most stand alone systems. It also allows Bluetooth connectivity with compatible mobile phones. My mother in law was very impressed the first time my wife took a call in the car. My children loved talking from the ...
