Nissan GT-R road tests and consumer car reviews

Nissan GT-R GT-R 2009

I have driven the GTR on public roads and on the race track. Whilst it is very quick and you can become involved in an exciting experience on the track where it does stand out as a very capable easy car to enjoy. On public roads it is very docile and easy to drive. What it lacks is involvement in terms of sound from the exhaust, and road feel and feed back. To the point of becoming a boring day to day car. But because its awesome speed comes up so fast and effortlessly, you could lose your licence real quick. Compare it to a Subaru STI or Porsche GT3 which gives you great driver feel and involvement at slow or high speeds. The GTR needs a better sounding exhaust and the driver needs to be allowed to hold the gear changes for longer during shift up. But it still is a great car.

Yes, Rick you are quite right, super fast car but does lack the gut churning feel you get from a Ferrari or Lambo at full bore. Not enough seat of the pants feel and sound to really make it an exciting car to drive - Peter Anderson from Buckinghamshire

Awesome car, nicknamed ’baby veron’. Faster than Ferrari, Lamborghini, Zonda, Porsche & even the Bugatti around the notorious Nurberg ring. This car has the best 4wd system on the planet. 0-60 in just 3.3 sec. Say goodbye to your driving license.
