1990 Nissan 200SX 1.8 Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"Fantastic group 16 insurance reliable rocket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front calipers are a little seized.
There is rust on the rear sill.
The rear sub-frame bushes were perished.
Rust under rear spoiler is common place.
General comments?
Wow, I have had many Japanese cars one of which was a 200sx before the one I own now.
It had a few faults on it when I bought it, which I have stated above. other than this it has caused no problems.
Handling on standard cars can be a little soft, but once uprated give a balanced and positive feedback.
These cars are fast, for the insurance and fuel.
Interior is comfy a little plastic, but hard wearing.
My 200sx is modified to 250bhp an is really exciting to drive, they can step out of line easily if provoked.
A very competent car which can deliver blistering performance, 30mpg (if driven correctly) and there are stacks of modifications available.
