1989 Nissan 240SX XE coupe review from North America
"We were jaded"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heat shield (under driver, above Cat) loose and fell off, heel of my right foot heated up a little.
Overheats (probably due to driving habits)
Weak brakes.
General comments?
Turns on a dime.
Solid suspension.
Not for your regular heavy foot driver.
Takes some attentive driving.
Tire eater.
