1989 Nissan 240SX Fastback review from North America
"A sleeper tuner."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car ran really bad and got about 10 MPG on the highway. But after a change of spark plugs and a basic tune-up, the car started getting about 20+ MPG again.
The previous owner tried drifting with it and slid into a ditch. The hood is slightly bent on one side and the front bumper was cockeyed. There was also a small dent right behind the rear passenger tire.
The speedometer also does not work accurately or at all sometimes.
General comments?
The car is a real attention getter. I have had numerous people in Civics and Eclipses want to race me.
The car is very fast and it handles like it's on rails.
The car is overall fun to drive.
