1983 Datsun 280ZX 2+2 review from North America
"A great car to be had"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The in car voice electronics failed. The speedometer did not work. The passenger door was broken. The transmission started coming out of fifth gear.
General comments?
The 280ZX is a wonderful car and gives a lot of power for being so small. The engine is a straight six cylinder which packs a lot of power for such a small car. Drove extremely well especially for being so old. Before owning one, everyone I had met that had previously owned one told me that they regretted getting rid of theirs. I am now a member of that club.
