Skylines are great first cars! ....r31 that is
to be honest, while they may be pretty old these days.. they are
a) reliable as rocks
B) parts are cheap and plentiful, and VL shared same engine
c) good on fuel economy.. around 10L/100km
d) bit of power, and gives you a taste of true RWD power without being too dangerous
e) Fair bit of room
f) gives you a taste of what owning a skyline is all about, before you get a turbo version.
g) pretty comfortable inside if you get a TI or GXE version
h) insurance is pretty cheap if you just go for 3rd party
i) lots of options for a car that age, power steering, elec mirrors, and elec windows and few extras if you get a TI
I used to own one before stepping up to the R33.. and in fact recently I went and bought another just as a runaround as I know how good they can be.
