Nissan GT-R 2018 in-depth review | Mat Watson Reviews

In 2016 the Nissan GT-R was given a major facelift since it was originally launched nine years ago in 2007. The idea was to make the GT-R easier to live with for everyday use, whilst not compromising on the sporty nature of this coupe. Nissan hoped this would allow the GT-R to compete against rivals such as the Jaguar F-Type Coupe, Mercedes AMG GT and Porsche 911 Turbo S in both design quality and, performance. So is the Nissan GT-R worth the high running costs? Have Nissan hit a home run with the GT-R, or is the interior still cheap to touch? Find out al my thoughts on the Nissan GT-R in this review.

Wow, can't believe it did 0-60 in 3 seconds in such wet conditions. so maybe the old factory claim of 2.7 seconds on the previous Nismo was real after all.

[@arabiantxn]

No it's not Nissan conveniently fudged the numbers by boosting the turbos on there media cars

[@inspirice9844]

@@arabiantxn any gtr does 2.7 secs :/

[@arabiantxn]

@@inspirice9844 I'm not sure about that. I do believe that Nissan Made there Test/Media GTR faster by dialing up the boost to hype them up. Please check this article and it points out to it See below article www.google.com/amp/s/www.motortrend.com/news/godzilla-numbers-2009-2017-nissan-gt-r/amp/

[@inspirice9844]

@@arabiantxn Did they use launch control, normally when the engine is still being broken into, you can't use it, and with the cars they were testing they were probably too low kms for launch control, still pretty impressive numbers without it tho

[@TJ5266]

That's why android auto and apple car play is so important for me

[@Gurubashy]

Why is every car touchscreen so laggy? I don't understand? Are they using a single-core 100 Mhz 1kbit cache CPU for these things? A $200 tablet is faster than those things you find on luxury cars.

[@ManagerCraft]

Exactly

[@user-it3ci4wx6s]

Think about how bad is the situation for touch screen... Between -40 to 80 degrees and also can be used for 10 years

[@tevinroyes1559]

$60 one is much better

[@vika0194]

Corpulent Allgod because only apple and samsung can make touchscreens great. And car manufacturers won’t borrow their skills

Who gives a shit if toblerone is easier to eat, it's less toblerone for the same price! angery

[@carwow]

We'll just have to buy more toblerones to feed the addiction. Also - it's still one of the best value chocolate bars because you have to spend the 10 minutes after eating it picking bits out of your teeth. It's the gift that keeps on giving

[@tobi97dk]

Brexit will make Briton's healthier due to thinner chocolate bars.

[@realfians4k]

You have accomplished something really good with your reviews: this reviews are deep and informative but also fun and entertaining. In the end, a Nissan Micra review done by you guys is better than most of Porche 911 reviews done by other channels and mediums. So kudos on a job very well done.

Thanks Hugo - it's nice to hear!

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

@@nikomoin7604 All GT-Rs, starting from the R32, are considered to be Godzilla actually. Someone correct me on that.

[@ali-tal]

Maybe it doesn't have the latest interior or the most responsive touch screen, but once you launch this car from 0, you'll fall in love with it. This thing is one hell of a launching machine

[@theenhancer]

You know, this is great. So many other reviewers only talk about things like lap times and 0-60 runs, I really like knowing how this car would be like every day from a guy who actually does care about such things and is really good at it.

This is Best super car for price !!!

[@khu4442]

Jack njones no , ns x is £145,000

Jack njones yeah but the nsx is cheaper with quality than the Gtr and it's a Honda they don't make super cars it's not there thing

[@biglaser711]

You were right before c8

[@Chirock-dr5gx]

that's serious problem... almost all recent car reviewers trying hard to be funny like Clarkson or be an idiot behind the wheel...also like Clarkson !! Eg. Doug.. - he's really good with reviews but he fails when pretend to be funny and "an idiot". That affects not only YT - check new Top Gear S24 trailer.. LeBlanc,Harris and Rei look so pathetic when trying to be funny like CHM !! And again - acting idiots is reserved for old trio because they're authentic in that role and probably real idiots ;) Stop doing that and be yourself please !!

[@syazrinamzar]

He reviewed the exact same car as Top Gear's anyway. So nearly there.

[@day3002]

toblerone got skinnier thanks to brexit.

[@MegaTechGuy]

They made them smaller before brexit....

[@timobac1]

conorwaswrong not directly. The pound became very expensive if you export to Britain, and brexit made that worse.

[@mrcommentator7406]

No, it's because cocoa prices are sky-rocketing. Other chocolate companies have been doing the same thing for years. *cough* CADBURY *cough*

You can now rest slices of Terrys Chocolate Orange in between the peaks of a Toblerone, however.

Agreed.

[@carwow]

We drove one to Le Mans a few years ago and fell deeply in love with it. *wipes tear*

[@Frocobo]

Alexander Fattoum I bought my stock R34 strictly as an investment. With only 11k miles it's value is skyrocketing. But if I was to own a Skyline to tune, modify and drive (and still make a sound investment mind you) it would be an R32. They've grown on me so much in the last few years.

[@MrNiklas30]

Tesla's are shite! We have a Tesla repair shop around where i live and there are like 25!!! Tesla's with a broken axle just laying around! I mean sure they are fast but man Tesla cant build a fucking axle properly. Recently a cheap Golf and a Tesla crashed with very low speed (directly after a green light at an intersection). Guess which car was more damaged? The 100K Tesla of course. Got his Axle broken of course! The poor lad wanted to have a replacement car for the time being (they told him he has to wait 6 months for his Tesla to be repaired), but the guys at tesla said he will not get anything! Thats just ridiculous.

[@30apexsys7]

How can you NOT like the look! It looks so GOOD!

[@JULIAN71102]

Matt can i ask you does tuning a car cancels the warranty and if detune the car back to stock can the manufacturer notice?

[@Richie944]

Great video! Great channel. The GTR still is a fast car. The 0 to 60 time of 3,0 seconds in this vid was on wet road. So it should do around 2,8 sec on dry road :). The Alfa Giulia Quattrofogloigolioisoolooosjoo......... is with no doubt one of the best lookin' cars on the market with a fantastic horsepowerd engine but i definately won't get one over the GTR.
