1990 Nissan 300ZX 2+2 review from North America
"High performance daily driver"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed new alternator at time of purchase. Will need exhaust soon, too, as well as brakes and tires.
General comments?
Wonderful car. Firm ride, but surprisingly comfortable. Very fast and dependable; I got a 2+2 because I needed a backseat for my daughter- kid-sized seat back there, so she fits fine- she prefers it to my wife's Subaru. I do, too!
The car feels as though it will run forever. Repairs are really not bad if you can do them yourself. Prices for parts are consistent with other cars I've owned, and very plentiful.
The non-turbo V6 is still a dream. I wanted a 5-speed, but my wife can't drive a stick. The auto is responsive and has a quick kickdown; a good compromise cosidering the overall performance of the engine.
