1995 Nissan 100NX Pacific review from UK and Ireland
"A Superb, Underrated fun Car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far nothing touch wood has gone wrong on this car. However the power steering does sound a bit noisy at times.
General comments?
This is a brilliant little 2+2 coupe with the added bonus of a removable T-Bar roof.
The driving position is great and much more fun than many family cars, as you sit nice and low in the car. The roadholding is excellent considering the tyres are only 175 wide (14" x 174 x 65).
The car is quick enough for most needs, the 100nx will hit 0-60mph in 9 seconds and max out about 125mph. (Quick enough to loose your licence!).
The removable roof is a stroke of genius as its lovely and warm & secure in the winter months, yet so much fun in the summertime. I have even driven the car with the roof off, but windows up during November as the heater is very good and its quite warm in there.
This is my second 100nx, I used to have a 1992 automatic one which had a carburettor (not fuel injected). To be honest I would not buy a Carburettor model as my old 100nx drank fuel (26mpg). However this fuel injected 100nx returns great economy around 37-41mpg general driving, and 46mpg on the motorway at 60mph.
The Carburettor model ran from 1990-Feb 1993. The Fuel Injected model ran from Mar 1993-1996. Make sure you get a fuel injected one, as it also has more powerful 105bhp not 89bhp as in the carb model.
Before you buy one please make sure you check out the UK website: www.100nx.com as it provides so much helpful info, and the Forum is brilliant!
