1995 Nissan 240SX review from North America
"A sporty yet refined ride for an individual or couple"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The tires wear unevenly due to the obvious flaws in the camber, but what do you expect for such great handling? Before my car was drivable, I had to replace all four tires.
The carpet on the inside has also worn a great deal, but that can be expected with the amount of time I spend in the car.
General comments?
For as long as I have owned this car, I have been completely satisfied with every aspect of it. Nothing has broken or malfunctioned, and with regular scheduled maintenance, I expect to keep it running for another 100,000 miles.
The handling is exceptional, especially with the Toyo tires I have on now. The one modification I am planning on doing is to add a lowering kit.
My stock stereo and speakers still work, but I am also going to replace them due to the fact that my car is almost 8 years old now.
This car gets superb gas mileage on the highway (31-32 mpg) and decent city mileage. It has quite a bit of get-up-and-go when needed, however, as always, an automatic transmission in a sports car is unsettling.
All in all, the interior is very comfortable and cozy. The trunk leaves something to be desired, but since the back seat folds down for extra storage, I find that I can haul just about anything I need.
With my driving habits and the amount of miles I put on this car monthly, I am very surprised that nothing has gone wrong yet, but it's true. Not one thing has broken at 126,500 miles and I'm still going strong with all original parts and engine.
