1989 Nissan EXA review from Australia and New Zealand
"It is an Attractive sports car that is far ahead of its time"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Crank Angle Sensor (electronic distributor) broke, which was quite costly.
High Beam Switch (costly)
Top Tank in the radiator corroded requiring replacement (costly)
General comments?
The first thing you notice about this car is its hot looks.
My car has 17" alloys and various decals so it stands out.
It has great performance and can beat most cars off the line.
Sounds great (courtesy of 3.5" cannon exhaust)
Roof lifts off.
I could not have asked for a better car, it looks great, goes great, I can't believe how many heads it turns, not bad for a 16yr old car!
