1990 Nissan 300ZX review from North America
"Cool. Lots of car for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the drive train in 2000 because the car had developed a growl and extra vibration. Only about $900 to repair, though.
Replaced front struts and tie rods last year, as well. Had problems with new Nokian NRV tires - handles great but developed bumpiness, especially when cold. The car is very sensitive to minor tire balance or alignment variations; keep things tuned up!
Otherwise, this car has been extremely reliable and enjoyable. The engine has been flawless.
General comments?
This is a fun car! I'd love to have the turbo for the extra acceleration, but I drive mostly curvy state highway roads which are ideal for this car (ride's a little harsh on Vermont dirt roads, though. Stick to the fast pavement!)
T-tops are a nice feature.
