⚑ When’s the last time you clicked to learn more about the Nissan Mistral?
Never? Same here.
Still, as I was browsing used car sites the other day, I couldn’t help but be charmed by this ’90s 3-door SUV in a pretty perfect spec: 4x4, 5-speed manual, and a 2.7-litre turbodiesel engine (complete with working hood scoop to feed cool air into its intercooler).
