This car flies. Ilove the power you have on tap. I have personally smoked alot of high performance american muscle cars and left them wondering what happened. The interior is great and roomy
Weakness:
High performance parts are a fortune. Its usualy twice the price of Honda and Mitsubishi parts but the car is twice as fast I would completly recommend this car to any import driver . I personaly was a american muscle car fan but have changed since having this car. Similar Products Used: I have had a Honda CRX, and driven eclipeses and they dont even compare |

Strength:
Handling, Strong Engine, and just good car overall
Weakness:
Poor gearbox doesnt pick up as quick as good as thought but still SI, GSR, etc killer. My god what a freaking car just finishing swapping with a SR20DET from japan and the thing halls as right now im at 12.91 @ 116 ET quarter mile with just stock SR20DET recommend the swap to anyone its a little costly though i paid 3500 for the engine and its 220hp stock and with a little boost on the Stock turbo it can get up to 300+hp then just add basic bolt ons with it and you got the ANY CAR Killa. Similar Products Used: Had 89 240sx can feel the 15 horsepower differance |

CAR IS ONE OF THE BEST LOOKING CARS ON THE ROAD. THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT STILL ASK ME WHAT KIND OF CAR IS THAT. IT HANDLES LIKE A DREAM. IT IS RARE TO SEE 2 NISSANS TOGETHER AND THAT IS GREAT. IT HAS OK PICK UP AND THE STYLING IS UNIQUE
Weakness:
PARTS FOR THE CAR ARE REAL PRICEY. BRAKE PADS WERE OUT TOO QUICKLY. THERE ARE NO CUP HOLDERS AND THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR IS STARTING TO RATTLE DUE TO MY SOUND SYSTEM. GREAT CAR FOR ANYONE WHO HAS THE MONEY TO UPGRADE IT. IT COULD BE THE BEST CAR ON THE ROAD. Similar Products Used: MITSUBISHI 94. I LOVED THIS CAR BUT TRADED IT IN FOR MY 240. THE 240 HAD MUCH MORE PICKUP. |

I love the car's handling. Just wish it did better on snow/ice (already cost me one wreck 2 weeks after i bought it for $3208.93 in damage). Acceleration isn't bad, slightly better than my old turbocharged '89 Ford Probe GT. It still has the get-up-and-go during the winter even with an extra 150+ pounds of weights in the back. At $3000 i thought this car was a steal, and knew as soon as i drove it that I had to have it. It was lowered 2", had a custom exhaust, a K&N Airfilter, 15" MOMO alloy rims, and a Pioneer stereo deck in it, and there were only a few things wrong with it when i bought it(see below).
Weakness:
When I bought the car the gas cap lid release switch was broken (so the lid stays open but at least i have the cap on it), the passenger window needed realigned, and leaks air near the back of it, the driver's seat had a tear on it(BUT IS STILL COMFORTABLE!), and the car had just been repainted but some of the paint bubbled on the front & back bumper so that needs to be redone on the warranty. Only other complaints are that it has pop-up headlights (i'm looking for a conversion modification to standard lights if you have any links to helpful info email me), and the electric system. I can't get the backlights on the climate control to stay on when i have the lights on. A turbo would be nice too, and the lowering springs simply make this car too low (they go as soon as i get some $$$ to get rid of them). Oh, and the final gear ratio. I wish it was geared better for lower RPMs around 70 mph in the final gear (mine's a 5-speed, obviously) I would definitely recommend this car to anyone looking for an entry-level sports car, or for someone looking to modify a car to death. It is ergonomically superior to many cars i have driven, has outstanding looks for a 10 year old car, handles extremely well, and has the get-up-and-go to get you anywhere while still not consuming mouthfulls of gas. Similar Products Used: 1989 Ford Probe GT - More headroom, faster off the line but lower top speed, handling isn't as good all around, but the Probe was Front Wheel Drive. |

its hard, but not too hard to find much aftermarket parts for it. And whenyou do its not a real nice price this car is bada$$, especially if youre tired of seeing all them RICED OUT Civics around...this is the perfect RICE BURNER....i love it....The only thing that sucks is if you get in an accident expect to pay alot...but its well worth it. Similar Products Used: so far ive beated alot of civic EX's, a prelude, 2 older model integ GSR's, a 325 is, hung real good with a integ type R, and lost 1/3 a car lenght to an eclipse GSX.....not bad at all |

Strength:
The handling is impressive. Sharpest steering ever driven. And I driven plenty from 88 Supras to 96 GS-Rs. Brakes are also a strong point in this car. Plenty of driving space. The engine has plenty low-end oomph, just smooth and strong.
Weakness:
The ride is a little rough. And the engine really needs more high end power especially from 4000 RPM and on. Lots of noise at highway speeds. Fuel economy is lower than expected. Perfect first car. Not so good for you drag racers unless you can swap in the turbocharged Silvia motor. Not that many performance parts and the doesn't look as good. But the car has amazing brakes and the you point it goes agility. Strong low-end torque with a pretty reliable motor. Similar Products Used: Drives so much better than even a 2000 Accord. The steering is tip top. And the low-end power is stronger than anything I've driven including a 99 F-150 with the v-8. |

I love this car! Its my baby. I think that it is a great car and has a sufficient amount of horsepower. I love the shape of the car, I think that it kinda looks like one of the Lexis's.
Weakness:
The back seat is a little small and im pissed that there is no cup holder. If you know of any engine upgrades please email me a Shrty103@aol.com Similar Products Used: none. I had a Chrysler Lebaron before that, but uhh...that car blew |

I like everything about it. Its a really all round nice car.
Weakness:
It SUCKS when u get in a wreck. I was going about 20 miles an hour and rear ended someone that stopped in the wrong lane and had to replace the hood, front bumper, fender, and alot inside because its so small. All i hit was a low sitting van. If u have any speed at all and get in a wreck you have a pretty good chance of getting seriously injured. Similar Products Used: Compares to an ASS |
