Pros: Multi-link rear suspension
Strong, bulletproof engine
Amazingly comfortable bucket seats
Fun on backroads. Cons: Not for snowy/rainy places.
Back seat is there to lower the insurance ONLY. The Bottom Line: This is bargain performance. A great two-seat rocketship that you can find anywhere for under $5,000 with plenty of life left in it.
Approaching the 240SX: The red is what really catches your eye first, arrest me it says: with a little bit of orange in it so that it seems more vibrant than other reds and you don't know why. The fastback is gorgeous, with clean lines...

Pros: Good acceleration, sexy looks, excellent handling Cons: Barely any back seat room, no cup holders, hazardous to drive in the rain. The Bottom Line: A sexy sports car that has enough guts to bomb around the city, a great first car for anyone who wants reliability and speed in one..
When I first saw the Nissan 240SX, I knew I had to have it.. I kept on pressuring my parents for the car for a long time, but my parents were against it for a while since it was expensive for a 12+ year old car.. However, I finally got my 240SX and I...

When my cousin handed me down his used 1989 240SX, I thought to myself, "Oh man... This thing has 100K on it and it's a sports car... I'm definitely going to be spending a lot of repair money." Boy, was I WRONG! From the moment I stepped on...

10 years ago, my junior year in high school, my dad and I were looking for a low-budget brand-new car. My dad had this little nightmare scenario of me with a broken down car at the side of the freeway with Ted Bundy pulling over on the shoulder, so a...

4 years ago my friend Chris decided to get a Volkswagen Squareback and I inherited his recently bruised '89 240sx. I had driven the car before and had fallen in love with it, so it hurt me to see the condition it was in as he left it in my driveway. ...

Pros: Beautiful car, excellent on oil, hardly any repairs Cons: Backseat not the greatest for being romantic with my boyfriend!
My father owns an auto repair shop and this car pretty much landed in his lap at just the right time: right when I turned 16! I am now almost 21 and this car is still by my side going strong. When I got it, it had 116k and now it just hit 153k. It has...
