Nissan 200 SX 2.0 Touring 2d (1997/P) Nissan 200 SX 2.0 Touring 2d (1997/P) - Owner Review Not in the same league as my previous Almera GTi - too much time spent trying to avoid going past its limits on muddy twisty back roads - no problem in the GTi - maybe wider tyres will help. 4 Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Costs 5 out of 5 For a true sportscar, prices are good and with low demand scrapyard prices for low mileage writeoff parts are very good - £250 for a 20,000 mile gearbox - bargain. Driving 3 out of 5 Not in the same league as my previous Almera GTi - too much time spent trying to avoid going past its limits on muddy twisty back roads - no problem in the GTi - maybe wider tyres will help. Performance 3 out of 5 Straight line and post lag plus overtaking a joy, but turbo lag kills the fun - I wish there was a 3.0 alternative. Reliability 4 out of 5 Gearbox has jumped out of gear and is noisy - soon to be swapped - windscreen washer pump leaked - engine and everything else perfect. Image 5 out of 5 The reason I bought this car was its aggresive sleek lines, which I love, and its rarity - it tends to be liked more than loathed and it's not a 3-Series, which has to be a bonus. Comfort 3 out of 5 It's a sportscar - if I wanted a soft ride I'd have bought a Merc. Get an Insurance Quote We've gathered the biggest companies on the market in one place to save you money. Insurance group: 35 Get quote > Security 3 out of 5 No hassle with alarm unlike a lot of others apparently. Yet to be tested so I don't know. Service 4 out of 5 No good with 200SX gearboxes, but otherwise excellent with my last 2 Nissans. Problems Bodywork Paint chips, but then I drive on very rough roads. Engine - Gearbox Noisy, clunky, jumpy and stiff - hoping the new one isn't. Other Brakes worn out and replaced. Ownership Did you buy the car new? No Would you buy the same model again?
