1989 Nissan 240SX review from North America
"A real sports car looking for an real engine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the original Clutch which held up for 300,000km.
General comments?
I bought it originally instead of renting a car, and only planned on keeping it for about two weeks (it was that cheap).
It handles like no other car available for even three times the money. I have embarrassed drivers of some very expensive sports cars on winding roads.
The interior still doesn't look overly dated like most cars from this era do, and has a very hight level of materials, fit, and finish.
The engine in this car was a let down. It was more reliable than anyone could ever wish for, but it lacked the performance that the rest of this car was designed for.
