Nissan 200SX 1989-
  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Top car for the money.

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Not too expensive - avoid Nissan dealers... they charge over the odds and don't really seem to be geared up for car either.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Loads of fun - need to be careful in the wet when applying the power out of corners... wouldn't recommend this car for a novice driver, but anyone could drive it easily, as long as they were careful.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    10 out of 10 - it's exactly what you expect from this sort of car... far better than those 'Girlie' front wheel drive cars...

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    No real problems at all. Typical 'faultless' Japenese reliability.

    Image

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Looks a little dated now, but I still received many good complements about the look of the car.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Perfectly adequate for a 2+2. Could do with some improvements...

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Nobody every tried nicking it, but certainly needs additional security measures in place.

    Service

    2 out of 5 2.0

    They were 'quite' helpful and expensive... I preferred to use another 'specialised' garage that was cheaper and seemed to know the car better.
