My muffler broke and I still didn't fix it. It sounds better than it did. Don't put crayons on your seat when it is 90 out, it causes major problems. It needs a cup holder.
I beat the crap out of this car and it just keeps going. I smoke the tires and I redline it everyday. It is a fun car to drive and I don't think it will break down soon. It is cheap and has a little power for those people who think they are speed racers with there rice burners.
The '96 Nissan SX SE has been one of the most reliable and dependable cars I have ever had in the last 25 years. If only American's could build a car like this they would not be complaining about car sales.
It's a great car! I have had it garaged and drive it occasionally, but when I do I get about two offers to buy it.
Nothing done with the exception of the usual change the oil every 3,000 miles and replace the brakes when necessary. I will never get rid of it because this car is going up on blocks, and will probably become one of the first Japanese collector cars.
I have not had this much fun driving since I stopped using my 1970 Old's 442.
