I wouldn't trust the top gear team, jeremys Toyboata didn't start and it went through alot less crap than the other indestructable hilux. They've also stated that top gears not necessarily all true.

Personally I'd stay away from Exas - Especially the N12 model (first series 1.5 Turbo). They look horrid and are just a piece of crap. I've never come across a happy owner of one.

Check out the nissanexa.com forums. I used to own a NX Coupe (predecessor of Exa). It had the love-it-or-hate-it looks, but with the SR20 it was a much nicer package.

Save your money and go for a SSS Pulsar.

Nearly bought one 18 months ago. If I only had money at the time then I'd have it already.
