1987 Nissan Pulsar NX SE Coupe

1990 Nissan Pulsar NX XE 2dr Coupe
I have loved the Nissan Pulsar NX / Nissan EXA for a very long time. These are great cars to drive with their small size, great power (my 87 SE with the CA16DE putting out about 120 HP)! The design is wonderfully unique, not too squared off, but not too round either! I wouldn't give this car up for the world!

My driving experiences with the NX have
shown nothing but good things on behalf
of the performance, comfort, and
reliability.

1990 Nissan Pulsar NX XE 2dr Coupe
My poor little Pulsar been driven all
over America, carted over to Germany,
England, Scotland, France and
Switzerland. I've driven it on roads
that a Jeep would have difficulty on,
in conditions that would freeze a moose
and up slippery roads I could barely
walk up in boots. It has gone 135 MPH
on the Autobahn, and it has never once
complained. Very reliable. Very safe. …
Loads of fun to drive. Excellent speed
and passing ability, especially for the
price. My only complaint is that it's
LOUD inside when you're going highway
speeds.

1990 Nissan Pulsar NX XE 2dr Coupe
I fell in love with that vehicle at first sight! T-top makes it a great summer ride with its amazing retro-futuristic design (white with pink stripes on the doors and pop up lights) ,very low and sport driving but also very economic. Never spent any money on it (except for maintenance). Only good points. It's true pain that I felt when I saw it destroyed in the parking lot (hit and run … at high speed). Best car ever!!
