1989 Nissan 240SX Reviews - Page 3 of 9

Car needs new engine. engine blew from previous owner (dad).

Interior needs work.

Although I haven't driven my 240 I have driven my friends 240.

I can tell you that it handles like a dream sticks to the floor even while accelerating.

Engine sounds really nice. The roar of the engine blew me away.

Brakes reacted really well.

The alternator went bad at around 180,000 miles.

The clutch started to have a rattle, but after a while it went away.

This is very quick and usually does not have problems. When I bought this car it had no problems.

I have not put any upgrades on it, but it is quick enough already that I do not have to worry about it losing. It is much quicker than a Civic, V6 Mustang, and other various 4-cylinders.

It is not that often to have and import that is RWD.

Bought the car for 500 dollars.

Needed driver side ball joint.

Tranny output seal.

All new brakes.

Rear Passenger side brake caliper.

PCV valve.

New plugs/air filter.

Hole in floor welded.

Living in Newfoundland the Winters are slippery and this car is no good in snow even with winter studs and sandbags in the trunk.

Bought car for 500 dollars needed 400 worth of parts, but motor in good condition runs well.

Corners like on rails, quick out of the turns.

Transmission shifts nice.

Can wait for summer again to see what she can really do.

I bought this car at 190,000 miles from a friend.

The motor was blown from revving engine at 7,000 to 8,000 rpm from drifting.

Install in a new KA24E in it.

Need replacing the clutch and brakes.

It has a good powers, but plenty of torque.

Handles super great. It will keep the 240sx on the rail!

Seats are alright, thinking about put a Sentra Se-r seat in 240sx because it has a better bucket seat.

Other than that it runs wonderful and will not let me down.

I replaced a clutch when I bought the car at 300,000 miles. The slave cylinder has also gone bad, but wasn't very expensive to replace.

I love this car. I am very into small, racing cars. This was perfect for my small budget. It has very good gas mileage and has good acceleration. The handling is awesome. I have driven Honda's and Neons and they don't compare to the 240SX. I would have preferred a V6 to match the sporty look of the car. The one thing I didn't like about the car was the very small backseats. I have a new infant and the car seat doesn't come even close to fitting in the backseat.

The stereo mutes itself sometimes when I hit a bump. It's an electrical problem though within the CD player itself.

I had to be towed out 3 times this past winter. Not a good car in the snow. Snow tires are highly recommended.

Passenger door stopped locking. For a while I had to have people climb over the driver's seat or in the passenger window if they wanted to get in.

When driving in snow or heavy rain, drive the speed limit or well below it!

Backseats are extremely small. Everyone who sits back there always complains how they are cramped. When someone is sitting behind me, I have to move my seat up (almost so my chest is touching the steering wheel) in order for them to be comfortable. It's basically a 2-seater with lots of trunk space.

This is my first car, and it's great. I've been driving it for about 11 months now and there have been no serious problems. All problems if I had any were extremely cheap to fix.

The car is great on curves. It handles really well.

I highly recommend it for anyone, especially those who are getting their first car.
