2017 Datsun GTR
Drove one of these the other day and yes it has bags of power but awful to drive on roads that are not perfectly flat, it tramlines and bounces around like a biatch, is this a common trait of these cars or is there something wrong with the factory fit tyres etc?
Once it was on the autobahn and the surface was smoothish then it felt better but down country lanes it was terrible.

Wikipedia says Nissan re-launched the Datsun name in some countries in 2013. i didn't know that!

But I never hear good reviews of them - from people that have driven them.

I have only had a few laps round a track with one and to be honest it was very fast and I enjoyed it.
I then drove a 911 turbo which was probably slower overall but far far more engaging.
I grinned like mad getting out the 911. I nodded respectfully getting out the GTR.

My 2009 GT-R was like this, improved a little with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres, but too stiff and skippy like a sporty BMW on many rural roads compared to rally replicas with longer travel suspension. 997.1 Turbo rode much better.

Thing is people are too embarrassed to admit they fell for the "Hype" and bought a lemon... guess that's why there are so many 'cough' "Modified" STI's and GTR's.
