THE five-door hatch is the Pulsar to buy if you're seeking a little youthful style in your small car. The twin-nostril grille - completely different to the mini-Maxima look promoted by the sedan - is a boldly attractive statement and there's a certain chunkiness promoted by the abruptly cut-off rear-end. A tallish stance helps interior space, but the Pulsar lacks generosity in the back seat.
