General Comments

I have had theNissan Sunny 2.0 GTI 16v a while now so i can give a good report on it. First the sr20de engine is a very quick [2.0l 16v] engine for a non turbo car and it is very reliable as is the whole car, but parts do wear and can be quite pricey. My car has a chiped ecu and custom performance air intake it also has a performance header and semi custom exhaust system, with these few mods it makes the sunny a very nippy little car. The handeling i always think is a little scary, alot of people won't agree but maybe its because i'am more used to larger cars but i suppose it does grip the road ok but it seems to on edge in corners and under braking for my liking even with large 215 width tyres and low and hard suspension. I have kept the look of the car standard inside and out [apart from alloys and suspension] as it looks pure classic early 90's gti but like alot of jap cars then it is prone to rust but i have seen worse. If you get one of these cars get ready to upset alot of old and modern hot hatches [and other cars] as it is very fast not the fastest but one of the best non turbo's around, after owning the gti i would now like to own it's big brother the Pulser/Sunny GTI-R as its the same car but with a Turbo and 4wd very fast with the handeling to match.
