New A45 . 5 year old car , depreciation will arrive very quickly after 5 years.
Even though it is an epic car.

It has room for 4 people, just because it's smaller form the outside does not mean it's smaller from the inside.

I suppose the question is, does the OP want a **** hot pocket rocket (0-100km/h in 4.6s claimed) that you can use as a daily driver as well, or do you want a supercar that can cream most other supercars?

But the GTR is a four door four seater with longer wheelbase?

I can't imagine the A45 is bigger.

From personal experience the GT-R is exceptionally small at the back. I'll try and get confirmation of it on the web somewhere

From 37:00 on wards they discuss the rear seats.

Yeah but surely that's compared to other sedans.



I can't for a moment think the A45 would offer more.

Also that's the 2-door version in your video.

By far the smallest back seat I have ever had to try and sit in. I'm 1.76 and the owner slightly shorter. I can't fit in the back of the driver side. A Polo Playa has more space than the GT-R. I'm not even joking. When he sits his normal style for driving and its normal, not way back even with his arms slightly bent, there is about 10cm space between the front seat and the rear seat. For me to have my knees just fit in the back to the sides he needs to go full to the front of the steering wheel almost leaning against it for us just to close the door. And even then I can't sit like that for 10 minutes I'll die...

Imagine a road trip like that, fark no.

That's 5cm more than the space at the back of my car, in my driving position. And I'm only 1.73...

Yes I'm referring to when it was still the Skyline GTR R34 as I definitely sat in a four door one.

I assumed the new one would be the same but obviously not the case.

GTR is a coupe, you may have sat in a replica or something.

R34 Skyline GT-R







As in what they now call a GTR without the Skyline as in the R35 ,



They were always made in four door back in R33 and R32 days as well and I bet most before that.



Definitely not a replica. Seems they just dropped the two doors with the modern GTR.



In fact I don't think the old ones came in two door options, at least I never saw them, which is maybe why I assumed the new one is a four door as well.

Fast forward 4 years, presuming that is e finance period. Would you rather want to sell an AMG that is just about to finish its motor plan or the Nissan that is 9 years old? I suspect you will lose less on the Nissan

I saw a grey 4-door R34 in Fordsburg but can't prove it was a GTR and not standard Skyline. To me it was a GTR, but not sure.

You will lose a lot og money on both when reselling.
I'd take the GTR just to know that I once owned a Godzilla, keep it for a while and then move on after living a dream. With so low kms, there should a warranty, no ?
I agree with the M3 V8, 4 door.
