1989 Nissan 180SX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Value, speed and style"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very soon after I purchased the car the water pump went, other than that everything is engine wise is fine.
The drivers seat is worn and the passenger window switch sticks.
General comments?
This car is definitely value for money. Considering it is an auto, and basically stock it is rather quick. The handling is literally awesome with Koni shocks all round, eliminating body roll.
The car looks great giving that it is now 15 years old, as well as out performing most other new cars on the road.
A warning for anyone who buys one of these cars that the back end has a BAD tendency to not be in-line with the front :D Be very careful in the wet.
