*10 POINTS!* Which is best: 1990 Nissan Pulsar, or 1995 Suzuki Swift?

[Lisa]

I am deciding whether to purchase either one of these cars.. second hand. They both claim to be in great condition, both automatic, four door etc.

Which *IN GENERAL* is a better car? Less likely to break down/have problems. Which is cheaper to maintain/fix up? Which is cheaper on petrol etc?

Thanks!

"Nissan" for me cause the older suzukis were problem prone....

Swift. The Pulsars are ok cars, but I'd pick the Swift over the Pulsar any day. A Swift is lighter than a Pulsar, and uses a smaller engine, so it should use less fuel. Both are much the same for reliability and parts availability/cost. The Swift would maybe be a bit easier to find parts for, because Holden Barinas of that year were just rebadged Swifts.

I wouldn't get an automatic, but that's just personal preference.
