1986 Nissan 300ZX review from North America
"An inexpensive sports car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The climate control system thinks that it is in the Arctic. It blows only hot air all the time. The dealer wants $1200 for a new climate control unit.
The driver's side window works only when it wants to.
General comments?
This car is fast! It hugs the turns and has absolutely no body roll. It is not the best car for interstate driving, however, driving through the Siskiyu Mountains of Southern Oregon/Northern California is a blast! The cruise control holds the speed either up the mountain or down. For being a 16 yr old car, it still has great performance and gets lots of looks. I love the t-tops!
