Nissan Sylphy B17 1.6 (116 Hp)

Nissan Sylphy:

The Nissan Sylphy is a compact car produced by the Japanese car maker Nissan since 2000 as the successor to the Nissan Pulsar. The Sylphy has also been marketed in export markets under several other nameplates, including Pulsar, Almera, Sunny and Sentra. For the third-generation model introduced in 2012, the Sylphy model was merged with the B17 Sentra, meaning it is no longer a standalone model.
Until 2012, it is known as the Nissan Bluebird Sylphy in Japan. The initial Bluebird Sylphy nameplate was a continuation for the larger Bluebird which was phased out in 2001. It was renamed the Sylphy for the third-generation model in 2012....(Read more on Wikipedia)
