Leo22 2nd Gear February 5, 2017 Share February 5, 2017 Thanks for all the knowledgeable input on what are the equivalent can compare with, but whatever it 'should' be, can we come back to the topic? Can we just take this thread like I prefer apple to orange and why? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueray Hypersonic February 5, 2017 Share February 5, 2017 Nissan 1.2L Pulsar vs Nissan 1.2L Qashqai, hatch vs crossover. Will have to depend on one's own transport needs and usage. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamburger Hypersonic February 5, 2017 Share February 5, 2017 If price is similar, I would go for conti. They simply drives differently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps TS can share more of your criteria, assuming that you started this thread is because you have shortlisted and torn between which of the 2 to get.

Frankly, I think nobody will buy diesel cars until after Feb 20th to see what changes the budget will bring. Not good for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even though qq using 1.2 engine, but think should be good enough also, if not there would not be so many people buying this qq liao. Lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macrosszero Turbocharged February 6, 2017 Share February 6, 2017 The Pulsar would be a better car to drive if you're into that sort of thing because of the lower ride height which translates into a lower centre of gravity. The ride may be firmer as you have lower-profile tires but you might prefer that if the low CG means anything to you. Personally I find the Pulsar less of a poser (of course being B&B models in a B&B brand aside) as it does not project any sort of off-road pretensions unlike the Qashqai which merely has ground clearance without the extra driven wheels to back it up. Other Japanese alternatives to the Pulsar are the Toyota Auris, Subaru Impreza hatchback, Mazda 3 HB, and if you wait long enough, the Honda Civic hatchback. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickster 5th Gear February 9, 2017 Share February 9, 2017 I find Pulsar reminds me of back then Latio Sports, the interior space and boot space almost the same. So if you like Latio hatchback, then you will also like this Pulsar. Lol. Now that you mentioned it, yes, no wonder it looks kind of latio-ish. Test driven the car last weekend and can't help but keep having the feeling it looks familiar. Screw both Nissans with CVT trannies. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
