Nissan 100 NX 1.6 Targa 3d (1992/J) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
I paid 260 quid for my 100NX with 100k on the clock and it's in good condition bar rust.
Costs
Panels are expensive, insurance is steep for what it is however fuel consumption isn't too bad.

On the road
Driving
It's good for a cheap car, gets quite loud on motorway though.
Performance
Average really, it's what you'd expect for a 1.6 16V with 100BHP.

Living with it
Reliability
It's not broken down on me yet and I've had it 6 months, however I did have a major rust problem and a pothole caused a rear strut to rip the strut mounting part of the chassis in 2, lucky it didn't go through the rear windscreen.
Image
No-one knows what an NX is, plus I've had mine de-badged, de-spoilered, de-handled, fully colour coded with a full respray and put 17"" alloys on it and most people think it's an expensive sports car!
Comfort
I drive about 400 miles every week and it's been fine for me and I'm 6'3".

Security and Service
Security
I locked my keys in and it took my mate 2mins to get in without causing any damage. I have a CAT1 alarm now and would recommend alarming the vehicle if you get one.
Service
Serviced my self, pretty easy to do on this car.
