Nissan Sunny Hatchback 2.0 GTi R 3d (2001/X) Owner Review

Economy
Value
It's got all you need, performance, looks, quality and reliability.
Costs
If you want something fast you can't expect it to be cheap. But it does depend on what your buying. if you want a fancy exhaust then £££ is what you'll spend.

On the road
Driving
Excellent road holding, four wheel drive makes some difference... great fun in the snow.
Performance
Fast, very fast...under six secs to 60mph standard...then speak to some tuners and for around £600 you'll have it below the five secs just like me. Porsche, Evos and Imprezas...look out.

Living with it
Reliability
It's good, Clutchs are a problem on these cars, really needs an uprated one, everything else seems to be OK.
Image
Aggressive styling, vents, big rear wing...tasty...does need aftermarket wheels...standard 14" alloys are a bit pathetic.
Comfort
Recaros, good support...seats four comfortably...not a lot of room in the boot though.

There is nothing as standard...and you really dont want this baby nicked, you'll need to uprate it for insurance anyway.
