Very nice car chap!
I've always had a soft spot for these but never been in or driven one. How is it to drive?
They drive very well, very comfortable and handle well with the suspension being firm but not harsh, although with my car being a GT Edition it has revised suspension for UK roads and a bit more sound deadening added which became standard on the 2013 model onwards. What the suspension is like on the earlier models I don`t know but road noise was a criticism on the earlier cars.
My car is a manual and the gearshift is short and precise and the clutch is no heavier than the Omega.
With having 245 front tyres on 9" wheels it does tramline a little but I might have a trip to Nigel Langs in Bolton to get the geometry checked out.
Rear visibility isn`t too good as the boot line is quite high but from 2013 onwards a colour reversing camera was standard and is a must although there is a guy on the Nissansportz forum that can supply a colour reversing camera kit to fit to earlier models equipped with the built in satnav.
They are quite nippy too, having 328bhp and a six speed gearbox so overtaking is just that bit easier when you`re stuck behind the dawdlers
I love it, it`s a comfortable, quick GT car that looks good and you don`t see many on the roads which makes it a bit more unique, well worth booking a test drive at your local Nissan dealership to see if you like it or not.
