Nissan 370 Nismo

Are they any good?

My wife - who does like cars and who knows a fair bit - came back yesterday going on and on about them.

She's seen one and then been in Autotrader to find out they're not very expensive.

So are they any good? Fuel economy's not a major issue to us. We don't drive many miles. 500 quid tax is what we paid on one of our other motors so not unexpectedly expensive.

It's not a case of buying a Porsche or whatever used for the same money. She has an irrational dislike for Beemers and the only Porsche she's ever liked has been a tatty white 944 that she wanted us to have as a toy.

If she is serious and not just virtual tyre kicking, I'll suggest the Mustang.

So back to the Nismo. Great car or not?

They look fabulous however every review I've seen has said they look faster than they actually are, that the powetrain isn't particularly special and that the exhaust is too muted.

Having driven a mustang (although not the new UK model)I would happily own anything other than a modern mustang.

Be interested to hear from anyone wits a 370/Nismo.

^^^ Why the dislike of the Mustang? Seemed people are going crazy for the new one arriving here. I though initial reports were good.

And there is your answer!


Buy the Nissan.
