"best sports car"
"This car is an awesome piece of performance. And the best thing about it is that its affordable.This car also tends to run forever because it is a nissan. The engine is also very powerful no matter the mileage. Specially the twin turbo version its always ready to beat a 95 porsshe twin turbo and it lasts way longer. The styling of this car is awesome. It looks very wide just like a lamborgini. The interior is awesome with a lot of legroom. Its also very comfortable good for two persons that want to go far. for anyone who wants reliability,performance,looks this is the car for them. ps. The turbo is more of a race car than a grocery getter or a everyday driver."
