Nissan Silvia Or Skyline

[ZxJUNxZ]

Hey All, I need you all to help me decide what car I shoud buy for my first car. I haven't got much knowledge of cars so plz fill me in...

I really like 1995 Nissan Silvia (s14) and 1993 Nissan Skyline GTS (R32)
at the moment and they are affordable for me in New Zealand.

1995 Nissan Silvia has DOHC engine and 2.0CC
1993 Nissan Skyline has V6 engine and 2.0CC

What's the different between DOHC and V6? And what is better overall?
I think Silvia is V4??? Im not sure but i think that cuz most cars are v4.
Is there much difference in V4 and V6???

I need a car which is reliable, good performance, good front and back foot space. A car it can be good for just driving but also can race every now and then. What car is better overall like features, engine and everything.

So please give me suggestion, information on these 2 cars, Which car shuld i buy for my first car that i will drive for at least 3-5 years.
And fill my empty mind THANK YOU

Both the Silvia and Skyline have inline engines. There is no such thing as a mainstream "V4" engine.

The Silvia uses the SR20DE inline 4, while the Skyline uses the RB20DE inline 6. Big difference.

There are even more differences, too many to get into. You've got a lot more research to do.

Thank you for ur information but please dont get technical, too hard for mew understand. Which cars better do you think?!

Sorry, but you're going to have to get technical to make an informed decision. I still can't tell you which car would be better, since you never specified which trim level of each car you are considering.

Like I said, you've got some research ahead of you.

Suggest you talk to the team at www.skylinesdownunder.co.nz.They'll be able to give you much better information on pricing and specs,might even know where there's a better car to be had.
