What Owners are Saying About the 1996 Nissan 200SX

"I LoVe NiSSaN"

"This car gets GREAT gas mileage 30city/40hwy. I love the reliability in it, i've never changed anything in it besides the clutch and battery. I LOVE THIS CAR, the only thing is that I would probably like a little more power, and it's not particularly comfortable, but it's not horrible at all, it's just like a regular car. Style isn't like a 240sx, but hey, it's still flyyy..."

""

"I love this car. It gets over 40mpg and has had almost no issues after putting 226,000 miles on it."

"Good Little Work Car"

"I just want to be very brief here. There is nothing special about this car. Very plain and simple inside and out. Great gas mileage, very reliable. I owned the car as a work car for 17 months in that time the starter went out, the windshield wiper linkage bushings wore out, and the exhaust pipe rusted in two. These were all very easy and cheap fixes, but it seems that these cars are prone to these small problems like this. The wiper linkage was actually a recall on this car, but I just fixed it myself. Overall the little car has been very dependable as I put 56,000 hard miles on it with only regular maintenance and the things I listed above. However, I traded it in today because the timing chain needed to be replaced and I didn't want to put any more into it. If you want a cheap daily beater I would recommend it as long as no one plans on riding in the back because there is no room back there."
