Nissan Pulsar

Went and see and test drove a few cars, 2 Korean cars & 2 Japanese cars before making a decision. Price wise, this was the 2nd most expensive of the 4, the most expensive being another Japanese make. Now about the experience: The very first thing i noticed when i entered the Pulsar was the spacious cabin and head room, compared to another car which i felt so claustrophobic. The dash board has a nice touch screen monitor and the aircon had many fan speed and at 21 degrees, it felt very cooling during the test drive. The Nissan sales lady was also very nice and friendly and did her best to explain all the functions of this ride. After driving for several weeks already, i average between 15 to 17 km per liter, i'm travel everyday, 60% Highway 40% City roads and this is a very good fuel economy car. I drive mostly on ECO mode and this helps. The torque for this model is 165 Nm, it offers an immediate, speedy and smooth acceleration, good for picking up speed and overtaking. Initially, i though the boot space was small but now i realize that its not that bad after all - not ideal if you need to put baby stroller but enough space for luggage and car washing things, its a hatchback after all. I opted for leather seats - very sporty looking in Black! It's a bit like sports seat so it sinks in but comfortable enough and its not too low. There is so much leg room, my family and friends commented that it had a good height (seats) plus it was spacious enough to seat 3 adults at the back, comfortably. The car doors are also pretty solid - maybe because it's made in Spain, so follows the 'conti' style heavy car doors. The interior has a mix conti and Jap feel, the speedometer and display is very 'conti', looks similar to a certain German hatchback.... Read More

Shortlisted Pulsar and Elantra but finally settled for a Jap car. Interior does not feel low end and surprised with the amount of leg room at the back seat. 6 airbags and features were rather limited if you compared with Elantra. Overall ride is good and I like it. FC I am hitting 13-14km/l and yet to fully determine as mileage is only 700km. A good valued for money family car!... Read More
