1988 Nissan Silvia review from UK and Ireland
"I'd buy another one. Fast, cheap thrills"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Pop up headlamps have stuck in the upright position.
Clutch broke.
General wear and tear for a 12 year old car (new exhaust, tyres, radiator core).
General comments?
It's actually my wife's car and I was very sceptical until I drove it. Great performance, comfortable driving position, very reliable. The looks grow on you. It's got a large carrying space in behind the rear seats - which are quite comfortable for a sporty coupe.
In summary, what other 130 BHP rear wheel drive coupe capable of 190K miles can you buy for less than a grand? An unsung hero, stillborn by the stupid name they gave it.
