1993 Nissan 300ZX Convertible review from North America
"I love this car, and will keep it for summer fun, even after I buy another car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had to replace the starter, and the fly wheel. When I did this I also replaced the clutch as it was going anyhow, and replaced some seals on the transmission. This was done at around 100K miles. The dealer did the work very reasonably and quickly. I have also replaced some minor parts in the interior to make the car perfect inside.
General comments?
I love this car, it makes me smile every time I climb in.
I find that the NA engine has plenty of power and goes well with the 5 speed for spirited driving and cruising.
There is a lot of room in the car, considering it is a roadster.
I am happy I picked this rare car over every other comparable roadster in the era and price range; much better than Miata, Z3, and Mercedes SLK.
