1996 Nissan 240SX S.E. review from North America
"A true sports car."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch burnt out around 81,000 miles. Rugs are beginning to wear away, but what else do you expect after 80,000 miles. Headers heat shield rattles at 3,000 revolutions per minute. After removal of the heat shield rattling went away.
General comments?
Nissan has always been famous for making quality sports cars and the 240sx is no exception. Great performance and handles like no other car I've driven. The cabin has a tight sports car feel to it, but don't expect to carry too many passengers because the back seat is very tight. It's a sports car who needs a back seat. For street racers this is the machine to own because it is rear wheel drive and jumps off the line like no other and just keeps pulling on other cars. This car has so much potential and could be a corvette killer if tuned properly.
