1996 Nissan 200SX SE review from North America
"A reliable, but very small car."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
About 95000 miles, the air conditioner compressor with clutch bearings went out. It cost about 275 dollars for the part. When it froze up the serpentine belt went with it. The belt was only 15 dollars though. This is the only thing that went wrong with this car since we've had it. Aside from brakes and things of that sort.
General comments?
This is a totally reliable car. It worked wonderful for us. The only reason we are selling it, is because we had a baby and we need more room. This is a really great car for someone with out kids. It doesn't have much get up and go. When you do get it going fast, it has no problems staying at high speeds.
