1990 Nissan Stanza XE review from North America
"A decent performance, comfortable, economical, reliable ride!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car never ran right since I rebuilt it (was in a head on crash before I got it). It doesn't like having the pedal part way down, as it will gain RPM's, then kind of stall, gain RPM's, stall, etc.
I blew a muffler skin off, that was an expensive fix ($140 for the muffler, compared to my $17 mufflers for the old Buick).
Front axle had to be replaced.
General comments?
This car has been beat on, and I am still very impressed with it.
The interior is great, very comfortable and holds up forever.
Not much has gone wrong, but when things do happen to go wrong, replacement and repairs are not cheap.
It handles well, even though the struts are totally shot right now (a $200+ fix).
Best $100 car I will ever have!!!
