1985 Nissan 300ZX review from North America
"I like to drive the vehicle, but the reliability has been very poor"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The red paint faded prematurely.
The digital dash malfunctioned.
The automatic air-conditioning malfunctioned.
The T-tops leaked.
The rear hatched leaked.
The gas tank seems to over-pressurize causing gas to leak out of the fuel filler neck and down the side of the car, ruining the paint.
The radio died.
The clutch has been replaced three times (I used to have a Toyota and never had this problem).
General comments?
Nice acceleration and handling.
Handles very poorly in the rain or snow.
Handles very well on dry pavement.
