my pulsar is the more reliable, better for just jumping in and nailing it and you only really have to replace consuables unless you have done some real damage (which in all fairness stands to reason as it is 7 years younger than the 3dr and has only been through 2 winters in the UK )

BUT theres just something about the 3dr i think its something to do with growing up always admiring them and being an 80's kid.

Also when i got my datsun 4 years ago they were farily rare even scoobys were then but now the market is flodded with jap cars and they all look the same. I think you have go all retro now to stand out and thats where the 3dr's have the appeal for me or possibly an AE86.

BTW as car the datsun is far better than the cossie but its still fooking ugly
