1993 Nissan 240SX review from North America
"Excellent machine!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Thermostat and radiator at 150,000 miles.
Light dimmer switch at 120,000 miles.
Head light at 130,000 miles.
General comments?
This has been an extraordinary car. Very reliable and very low operating cost. It averages 34 mpg on 87 octane fuel.
This is the best handling vehicle that I have ever owned. The brakes are also exceptional, and have helped me avoid some collisions with animals in the dark.
The engine is very powerful and responsive, and the transmission is slick and smooth. They did a lot of things right when building this car.
It has over 158000 miles, and everything still works on the vehicle.
The struts are starting to clunk and will need to be replaced in the future. My only other complaint would be the front seat's quality and comfort are lacking.
