1985 Nissan 300ZX review from North America
"A sports car without the money of one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radio has poor function with very low volume.
The air conditioning compressor locked up. Extremely expensive repair cost.
One of the brake lights blew out randomly.
Front Dash has started to crack minimally after 131,000 miles.
Washer fluid system stopped working since I purchased the car.
General comments?
Bad handling during wet conditions. Back end will swing out from behind you in both stopping quickly and accelerating quickly.
Performes very well in dry conditions. Tight handling, short throw transmission, and all around fun to drive in respectable driving conditions.
