1999 Nissan 200SX Touring review from UK and Ireland
"The best value coupe available"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has been fantastically reliable, with no major failures. The only parts that have needed changing were:
Rear discs and pads all round - 62,000 miles.
General comments?
This is quite simply the best car I have ever owned. Its been superbly reliable, been fun to drive and comfortable enough for long journeys. The boot is not the largest and the back seats are not for adults, but as a 2 seater coupe it is excellent.
Although real speed junkies might complain that its no the fastest car, it is plenty quick enough in most circumstances. Also I found the handling to be very progressive, even though there are horror stories of how dangerous in the wet they are. Driven with a small amount of car in adverse conditions, and remembering that they are rear wheel drive is the key to driving comfortably in the wet.
200sx's really are amazing, underrated cars. They may not have the badge snob status of their German rivals, but for the money they are vastly superior.
