1991 Nissan 200SX review from UK and Ireland

Speedo packed up and needed new unit (£200) also PCB has dodgy connection and needed replacing - cost £40.

Turbo manifold loose, causing rattle when cold and loss of power. Easy to fix, just added self locking nuts and tighten occasionally.

Don't use synthetic oil.. it just leaks out. Use a good solid mineral oil.

Automatic gearbox refuses to change up unless you take your foot off the gas. Can be a problem, especially at low speeds and can be a little enthusiastic when kicking down at higher speeds.

Auto box sometimes has no torque. Sometimes I have to restart the car several times to get any. No-one can figure out the reason for this. All levels are OK and otherwise the box is fine, except for flashing overdrive LED on dashboard. Any help on this much appreciated (e-mail mike@lbhconsulting.com)

Lovely car, prone to rust on sills in front of rear wheels.

Good ride. Comfortable, but drivers seat tends to wear down giving little support.

Sun roof leaks constantly. Get one without.

Handling is great, but call the undertaker when it rains! Back end slips out round corners. I've lost control at less than 40 mph on some corners when it's wet. It's a dangerous car in the rain, but I still love it in the dry.

Cabin is great with glass sunroof. Shame Nissan didn't put a t-bar on this model as they did with the 100 NSX and 300 ZX. Really missed out on that.

Back seat small, but dropping seats gives a lots of storage space. I have moved the contents of an entire flat in mine.

Gives many other cars a run for their money. I'm getting a new car and have tried Audi, MR2 and others. Nothing compares to that feeling of being pushed back in your seat and leaving a trail of dust for others to follow.

Highly recommended.
