Nissan 200 SX (94-01) - Review

Review by Ben Wall on
If this sleek coupe suffered from one thing, it was that it was too anonymous looking, although it does offer a taste of the Skyline supercar. It's good to drive with a refined 2.0 turbo unit, responsive handling and because it’s relatively unknown, it’s great value. Touring pack includes extra airbag, body kit, CD autochanger and leather seats. Both models received a twin air-duct grille, redesigned front bumper/fascia and remote audio controls in Oct 96 and look considerably better for it.

Comfort

Interior styling is rather bland, but the front seats are comfortable enough, especially in Touring spec with leather upholstery. Rear seats are short on leg room unless those in the front are particularly short.

Practicality

The boot is quite shallow, because of the rear-wheel drive layout, but it should cope with most requirements and the rear seats do fold down to add an extra level of practicality although the aperture is quite small.

Behind the wheel

All the controls (gearchange, steering and clutch) offer a meaty feeling, giving a real feeling that this is a big, fast car. Most are Touring spec models, with extra luxuries and are the ones to seek out as they make this a more comfortable long distance prospect.
