Default Nissan Stagea RS4

Was really looking forward to buy on of these so called sleepers.

After a 10 minute test drive I was quite disappointed with the car. The performance and handling is just to soft. I would say that the Volvo T5 feels faster as this Stagea lacked the midrange power, from 70 to 100 it took forever. My current C-class 250 TD sport estate felt faster from 70 to 100 and thats done 207,000 miles standard . Also the ride was a bit on the soft side, causing alot of unwanted roll. The steering feel was uncommunicative and lacking in feedback.
Overall as a Skyline gene it does not cut it. Well thats my 2p. Maybe some of you have a different experience.

The engine is the same as the Skyline gt-s 2.5 twin turbo.

could you just upgrade to a stiffer suspension? And maybe find a nismo ecu for that engine?

That would be nice. But I think I have to wait till 2008 before they can import the 260R. A true GTR in estate form
