1993 Nissan 240SX SE Convertible review from North America
"One of the few affordable, rare, sexy sports convertible"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Temperature sensor failure at around 113500km.
Cruise Control malfunction at 100000km.
Plastic convertible window started to crack around 110000km.
General comments?
Meant for weekend sunshine cruiser, rear drive isn't fun in Canadian winter.
Rear seats are only for ladies, too small for guys.
Rear plastic convertible window can be a pain in the rear.
5-Speed manual transmission would be more fun.
Blind spot, hard to shoulder check.
Go ahead, let it rip, she takes a good beating.
Better looking than any other Japanese convertible in its year.
2.4 Liter engine gives lots of option for performance upgrade - 5-speed SR20DET.
Some might frown upon seal beam headlight units.
