1993 Nissan 240SX review from North America
"Despite it's flaws, I love this car to death"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
CD player broken.
Antenna doesn't go up (missing?), but the radio works fine.
Noisy A/C compressor 1500 miles after purchase.
Very slight oil plug leak.
Corrosion on car seat rails.
Car seat cover loose.
Rear windshield defroster never worked.
Rear bumper's paint is faded (the rest of the car still has original 1993 coat!)
General comments?
A lot of fun to drive.
Looks great.
Car seat isn't very comfortable; the headrest pushes your head forward (which is good if you're in an accident, but just feels a little annoying).
Has gotten me across the country (Florida to California) and back, easily.
Very quiet with normal driving (extremely low RPM with overdrive left on), sounds beautiful when the engine is revved to high RPM on the highway.
Very tight turn radius.
Ridiculously clean interior.
