1986 Nissan 200SX XE HatchBack 2D review from North America
"Old, somewhat pimpin, take your chances"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
- Side armrests ripped pretty good.
- Little plug above the back window wiper motor popped out and disappeared.
- Slight rusting above the wheel wells.
- Door lining is loose and pops out at times.
- Lighter doesn't work all the time.
- Windshield cracked.
- Burns a bit of oil, but is easily fixed with a bottle of Durant "No Smoke".
- Cord to plug the car in is not hooked up, but it doesn't need to be cause it starts like nothing.
- Noisy speedometer, and now it doesn't work.
General comments?
- Fun car to have.
- Good pimping stereo system car (hatchback).
- Powerful on the highway.
- Slow acceleration.
- Sun roof is great but would've been better if it was automatic.
