Petrol or diesel Pulsar?
Hi, which is better for my 500-mile per week commute: Nissan Pulsar 1.5 diesel or 1.2 turbo petrol? I'm looking at trading my 10-year old car under a scrappage scheme, thank you.
Our answer:
Hi John,
I think with that kind of mileage you're going to need the diesel, realistically. The 1.2 petrol is fine but it's best suited to low mileage, intra-urban hops.
