Hey man, welcome to the forum! Pulsar is a very nice bit of kit indeed

The one you've linked to is a 1999, this means the engine will be the H22a8 which is 197bhp out of the box. Looks really tidy too!

The 4WS is something I love, but others aren't so keen. If you're wondering what like when driving the car, a user on here, Merlin, tracks his 5G with 4WS - it's awesome

These cars, if looked after, are pretty much bombproof. Speed is there, although there are quicker cars out there. Twisties and long cruises are where they really come into their own. Nice all rounder.

Here's an in car video of merlins 5g at Knockhill:

thanks.
mine is a none turbo n15 pulsar.

hmmm looks good in the vid. are tuning parts easy to get hold of and wha coiles are avilable for them.

what worries me about the ebay one is t says lady owner you dont get many ladys who put grooved discs on a car

Welcome to LG

The second one you've posted is an Auto which on the 5G is one to avoid as the boxes are made of chocolate

Hello Welcome to LG. As Indigolemon has said they are pretty much as reliable as you can get. So long as it has oil in it there isnt too much that can go worng.

If your up for getting a 5th gen, get the 99+ manual

more toys, more power, better performance than the rest of the UK cars. Plus same power but cheaper insurance than JDM imports.

That one you linked to has leather, heated leather is very rare (I have it

)

hi and welcome
N15 pulsar is an almera not a sunny for those getting confused

Hello!

As far as 5ths go definitely try get a 99+! Merlin pretty much covered why, and also check out his videos of the 4WS in action. Also, if mpg is something that concerns you, I'd say they're pretty decent for what you're driving around with. My H22a8 averages around 25-30ish mpg, I tend to get just over 300miles to a tank of V-Power, which this morning cost me just under 70 quid.
