1998 Nissan 200SX touring review from UK and Ireland
"An excellent package, but not as fun as the s13"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with it yet, I have only owned this one for a few months. But I agree with a review on this site, it makes a lot of noise in the back at high speed (you'd think the window is open).
General comments?
It's strange, but I owned an s13 for 2 years before the s14 and unfortunately they have both been autos.
In the s13 it honestly wasn't a problem, that car ficking flew, not off the line granted (mostly the wheels span) but wait for 3000 revs and boom it shot down the road (it scared many passengers), I had to change quite a lot like tryes and brakes, I added a cat 1, serviced it myself with the best I could get. the car was quiet and smooth (for a sports car), this all had to be done due to previous owner being a donut. my gripe is that the s14 is technically superior, without question, stunning inside and quite economical (really) but boring. this auto version doesn't seem as quick as the s13, they messed with the ride and gears and mashed it. a great car, but I feel became too soft and comfortable.
