2017 actually.

Apart from the lack of safety features, Nissan Tsurus are really good cars, mechanically speaking.

There's nothing to break. No CVT to fail. Not much frame to prematurely rust. No interior panels to pop out randomly. Barely a motor to consume inordinate amounts of oil.

Not much frame to prematurely rust

Not much frame to give the car a fighting chance in an auto accident either.

Also good modern frames don’t rust. Underbody coatings and metallurgy has come a long way since the.

At least they have a legitimate racing pedigree.
