Thinking of getting one of these for my daily driver - budget would be around 18k, whats peoples views/opions, anyone have one and speak from experience ?

Many Thanks

Mate of mine just got a Nismo one - i was disappointed with the performance but the handling and steering is spot on. Brakes could have a bit more feel to them as well but there is plenty of bite.

Fuel economy is pish, and finish on the earlier ones we went to inside was ghastly.

If I was you Id wait until a few more of the newer ones get sold so dealers wth second hand ones drop the prices a bit more.

For 18k Id buy a skyline - better as a daily driver - room in the back for kid(s), big boot, and monster grip.

How so lacking in performance ? 0-60 in under 6 secs and 155 top..

Realise the power delivery is very different to a high revving or turbo car - is it a subjective feeling ?

If I spunked 18k on a car, id expect it to out perform my nearly 10 year old current model

hmm you could get a nice C70 convetible?

T5 model, get a bit of an older one and then get it chipped for under 500 quid and youve got yourself a 300BHP+ car. 0-60 I think would be in the 6second range then.

Or this?!

or what about an integra DC5

Forester is up for sale

Sorry - hate the look of that new skylines and Im determined not to get into modding again on the new car...

...maybe


Anyways - looking at some alternatives - what about the Audi TTQ Sport ?

Quote from: Mark

6 second range is a bit slow like.

Id be looking more for 3 second range at that price. But thats me

Youre the person whod put a supercharger onto the Lotus carltons 3.6 straight 6 to give it a little more HP I think

But a 3 second 0-60 time would be insane on a everyday driver, itd use to much fuel I think. With a C70, you can fit 4 people in the car, have open top enjoyment and have a comfortable ride.

err, it already has two turbos
