2009 Nissan GT-R Road Trip: Inside Line Reader Visit #4



After Officer Cunningham's go it was Nigel Williams' turn. The 47-year-old software development manager is originally from Tasmania, but now lives and works in Provo, Utah with his wife and children. His daily ride is a new BMW 335 Xi.
 
Just a few minutes on the road and Nigel was already commenting on the GT-R's firm ride...
"The ride is certainly challenging, but I like how it feels nailed down. And the steering is nice and direct. Reminds me of a tuned-up Subaru WRX STi or the old 1999 STi before they got fat, quiet and well-mannered."

Out on the I-15 between Sandy and Salt Lake City, Nigel redlined a few gears. "Wow. It is fast. I see what people mean when they say the engine is seamless. I'm also impressed by the visibility. You can see out of it, unlike some supercars."

Then he adds with a laugh, "If I could find a Nissan dealer willing to sell one at MSRP then I would buy one. And then I'd find a good chiropractor to fix my back after a long drive."
