1997 Nissan 200SX Touring review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
31K miles in 8 months and nothing but routine servicing + 1 pair of brake pads (£100) and unexplaing thuds at rear in first few months which disappeared of their own accord.
General comments?
Thrash it when cold and the turbo makes a very nasty noise - I suspect the bearings are dry for the first few miles, so keep the revs low for the first few miles.
Dealers don't really know the car - e.g. they insist on trying to service it at 9000 mile intervals, not 6000 miles. However, standard service prices are the same as a Primera, and half the price of any BMW dealer.
Insurance not too bad, tyres dead after 15000 miles.
