1997 Nissan 200SX SE review from North America
"A sporty looking economy car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
About 6 months after owning the car, the dashboard lights would occasionally go out. After taking it to the dealer, then never really fixed anything, cause the problem happened again... lights would flicker and go out for a second. The problem eventually fixed itself and has been fine ever since!
General comments?
For an economy car, I really like the styling (both interior and exterior). It could use a little more under the hood, but other than that, the 200 has everything I wanted in a car at the time I bought it in 1997. Keyless remote, sunroof, A/C, power windows/locks, CD/tape, and cruise.
Seats are comfortable and I still enjoy driving the car all over the place, even on long road trips. Not a ton of room inside, but enough that I have always been able to fit my stuff in the car.
