1993 Nissan 240SX SE review from North America
"Pretty high performance, but I wish I would have saved for a 300Zx"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The left rear brake was gone even though the dealer said it had 80%. They split the cost of the parts with me.
Air conditioning never worked, and will require upgrading to a new street legal system.
Cruise control never worked, and the factory tape deck is really useless, as the light display doesn't work.
General comments?
This car has pretty good power in terms of acceleration, however it was a leased car before I bought it and therefore is governed to about 185 or 190Km/h. The speedometer only goes to 180Km/h and I think this too low because it reaches that speed on a flat quite easily.
Grey leather seats and black interior means it gets VERY hot inside and because the air conditioning never worked it is quite uncomfortable.
Handling is incredible, and this car loves to be driven hard.
