2001 Nissan 200SX SPEC S review from Australia and New Zealand
"A reliable brilliant machine at an unbeatable price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major thus far.
Tires and rims look like they will need a change soon.
Scratching of dash... Everything else is peachy cream.
General comments?
Haven't had it long, but it is sweet thus far. Going replace dash with a carbon fiber one cause it's scratch central... A little restrictive for a guy my height (6 odd foot). Part from that brilliant driving position although with my long arms I wouldn't mind if the gear lever was a little shorter. Still all in all brilliant ride, smooth, quick, and coming out of an s40 a dream to park and take in tight places. A dream around corners, take care in the wet. An awesome package for this price. And the costs for running are sweet in comparison to my previous European s40. Dealer is forced to keep parts for 8 years which is awesome, as living in Australia can sometimes cause problems with getting parts for import vehicles (which this basically is!). Highly recommended.
