Top Gear magazine have posted what I think is the worlds first new Nissan Pulsar Review. It's reviewed in their usual form, take away's are that it's not very powerful or as sporty as say, a Focus and that the interior is cheaper than a QashQai. However the price is considerably cheaper, its very spacious, particularly in the rear. The Pulsar is also quiet and comfortable and stable: very easy and predictable and relaxing to drive.
It's quiet and comfortable and stable: very easy and predictable and relaxing to drive. The ride is smooth. It's a quiet car too. And most of all, it has absolutely loads of rear legroom. Bigger even than an Octavia. It's the size of something like a Mondeo back there. Good news for tall people with friends/children to transport.

Also, many of the models get elements of Nissan's safety and comms suite: radar-triggered city braking in most (good for insurance premiums), a connected sat nav system in many, and a bird's eye view monitor and blind-spot warning in the top model. The blind-spot system cleverly uses the same little camera in the rear. Same for a lane-departure warning, which uses the front camera. Though it emits such a timid little beep I can't see it jolting you into action if you're dozing off. Although, at more than £20k, the range-topper is a bit of an irrelevance.

Can't help thinking that Top Gear readers are not the target market for the Pulsar!
