1998 Nissan 200SX Reviews, Pricing & Specs

performance- as a standard car it was pretty sedate... on par with a modern hot hatch.. but after a few modifications she's a little more alive, increase in boost, increased breathing and fuel supply and she now accelerates at a more lively pace. brakes are standard and quite frankly shocking. but perhaps time for some new fluid :P handling is a bit on the wallowing barge side of the scale, but with uprated shocks/springs the ride is better, but looking to replace and upgrade to the worn bushes and anti roll bars, then she'd be on rails. build quality- the build quality is good, still no rattles or nasty squeaks to speak of, and nothings fallen off. although it is an older car, which means it doesn't have the protection of moder cars, so it doesn't feel 'solid' appearance- love it, was part of the reasons i fell in love with the car... the only thing that i have to complain abut is the rear lights.... not good cost of ownership- car was cheap enough to buy given the package that comes with it. mielage isnt particularly brilliant, about 300-350 miles to a full tank, though i do have a lead foot from time to time, but a remap to include all the mods would improve this again. parts are cheap enough and easily available with a huge aftermarket scene given the cars use in motorsport, primarily drifting. fun factor- 10/10...
