1989 Nissan 240SX Hatchback review from North America
"Fits like a glove"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I bought the car, it needed a new water pump, alternator, shocks, fuel injectors, and tires.
About six months ago, I was leaning back on my seat and it just gave-way. My uncles 240 he bought brand new did the same thing so did my father-in-laws'.
General comments?
This car if SERIOUSLY fast for a 4 cylinder.
I got horrible gas mileage though, about 18 mpg. I attribute this to the age of the engine and my lead-foot:)
The handling is better than any car I've ever driven.
I was it was a BIT bigger.
