Strength:

torque,pretty fast, integras gsr are little bit faster,handling is awesome with 4 wheel steering,engine was said by japan was one of the best built until the hand polished intega type R engines.

Weakness:

handles bad in rain or snow,the wing is not off the car so the water build up may rust the wing over time.hasen''t happen to me but i heard it has happen to other 240s.plus no cup holders i hate drinking something with out cup holders.

Number 1 I only paid $3000 and the car is mint shape.I beat the hell out of it, I mean I''ve hit curbs got air born flew around turns at amazing speeds and pulled 360 on highway and much more crazy things.But everyday i go out and start my car and it has no problems.Thing runs like there has never been abused. car still looks brand new. never spent a dime into it except oil changes.I still even have same muffler on it from the factory. I only have 88,000 miles but the the harshest 88,000 miles you could put on a car.This car is very fun to drive and pretty fast for four cylinderand good torque.Overall the greatest car I have ever bought.Im sorry that american cars suck they dont have any cars that are reliable to any jap car.Thats why i would never buy an american car just waisting your money down the road for repairs.

Strength:

low rpm acceleration, attractive syling inside and out, superb dry weather handling, excellent reliability.

Weakness:

poor wet weather handling, poor high rpm acceleration.

to date, this is the best car i''''ve ever owned. i had recently got in an accident where the other party was at fault. my 240sx was totaled! i am bummed big time. i will give this car the ultimate compliment by saying i will be looking for another used 240sx. i had the hatchback 5spd. base model in black. VERY reliable, considering the original exhaust system is still on the car after 120,000 miles. no problems with this car whatsoever. just change the oil and filter regularly and this baby will treat you right. i did my own oil/filter/plug changes because on this car it''''s a snap. spark plugs are right on top so they are easy to get at to change or clean. as a lot of reviewers have claimed, this is not a rev-happy engine that wants to live near the 7000 red line. but their is gobs of low rpm torque for everyday driving. acceleration from a standstill or low speeds will have you leaving other cars in the dust. shifter is crisp without having that notchy feel i''''ve noticed on my ex-girlfriend''''s 94 eclipise. the suspension on the base model was a good combination of comfort and firmness. bumps and uneven terrain were noticeable but no too bad considering this is a sports car. steering and handling were top notch, as long as the roads were dry. being rwd, the tail could spin out on you very easily if you make a fast turn in wet weather. poor traction in snow as well. stability at high speeds was very good. the factory speakers were good enough to handle the power from an aftermarket cd player i installed. dashboard layout was easy to use. overall exterior design has stood the test of time. i think it still looks very attractive today. all n all, a great car. now, does anyone have a used 240sx to sell me?

Strength:

Its light, its fast, handles like a true sports car. I love the looks.I love this car and its looks are 2nd to none.

Weakness:

yes the rear seat is a little small but all sport cars have the same problom. And the dealer only parts.It is made in Japan I love it so much we are getting a third 1993 Nissan Fastback with the DOHC 2.4

My girlfriend has a loaded 1989 nissan all the se stuff the power windows, locks, sunroof, so I DROVE IT EVERY CHANCE I GOT.And it''s got over 220,000 miles. Then knew I was in love. We got the 2nd as a parts car. I could not see it distroyed. it has a dented in trunk so I got it cheeeeep. I tuned it up and drove it. I felt like a stock car I love the handeling and the 1st and 2nd gear burnouts. so I have been rebuilding the car.I will replace everything I can to put it back to new. At 159,000 miles and it passed smog and still drives like a new car.not a HONDA...THATS RIGHT! look a 155hp rear wheel drive with a stock 4.10:1 limited slip rearend, its 2,500lbs even with the stock KA24DE is bigger than a hondas 1.6 or 1.8.But get a turbo and a good exhaust and then 220hp. or a red top 2.0 turbo made in Japan as the Silvia. Simple the SKYLINE is the fastest car which is the super 240sx Silvia the are still bought and loved more the 12 years later. WWW.240sx.org.

Model Reviewed: 240 SX Fastback

Strength:

Stock this car can do the 1/4 mile in 16 seconds flat, which is actually very awesome for being stock, so it shouldn''''t be to hard to make her go even faster

Weakness:

It slips too much, and isn''''t that roomy in the back, although the front is fine, I''''m 6''''1" and loving it. Another problem is the price for parts, HOLY !$#^

The 240 is a beautiful car, aside from it being already fast, smooth, and looking great, it is even easier to make it faster smoother, and slick. I''''m just a young guy so I''''m still upgrading mine, but I have a performance exhaust, in-take, I had all the cool sylvia decals, but they were stolen. My car is now putting out around 155 horse, and its not to hard to take her past 100 mph, unlike that idiot that couldn''''t get past 60. Honestly no car is that bad, even my 1.0L geo metro could go past 60 with ease... Just because he doesn''''t know how to shift into 2nd is no reason to dis this car..

Strength:

EVERYTHING IS FULL OF POWER

Weakness:

THE PILOT IS IN HIS 60''s so I usually drive at 25mph all the time. I DON''T WANT TO GET HURT or HIT . if there is young people reading this review I WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO BE CAUTION WHEN DRIVING...DON''T SPEED UP WHEN in school zones or even in the hiways, BE JUST A LITTLE BIT under de limit , PLEASE!!!....ahhhh and don''t forget to check all the trafic signs and PEDESTRIANS AROUND......Thanks for paying attention to YOUR CONSCIENSES.....THAT''s YOU...

First of all I want to thank all of you for leading spose the TRUE VERDAD about this awsome car...YESSS!!!.....THE INCREDIBLE NISSAN 240 SX.....I really love its nice and killing sportly look, what''s more its reability and strenght is revealed in every square feet it takes when runing. It feels like runnin thru the jungle as fast as you can with no notion of trees, hills or rocks; well, I''m pointing this up because here in Aguascalientes there are many dishes,rocks and all sort of things acros the road, but any ways. In other words I''m floating when drivin my nice and tiny CABALLITO DORADO(that''s the way I call it even though it''s red) ;-)........ If I was able to go back to the pass I DEFINITELY WAIT AND SAVE MORE MONEY TO BUY THE NEWEST NISSA 240 or the 300ZX WHICHI IS EVEN BETTER!!

Model Reviewed: Nissan 240SX

Strength:

Good handling, good looks, very good shift quality and clutch. Good pickup.

Weakness:

Center console, armrest scratches to easy. Interior plastic reactes to climate changes (cold weather causes some rattles in door panels).

This is my second 240SX. I first owned a 1993 240SX 5-spd hatchback in 1993. In 1996 I bought a 96 240SX base with the optional alloy wheels and cruise control package, black with black/gray interior. I now have 63K on the odometer and the car still runs like new. For the over 5 year period that I have had my car, it has been extemely reliable and trouble free. I would highly recommend this car to anyone looking for sporty, reliable transportation.
