Nissan 200 SX 1.8 3d (1989/G) Owner Review

Economy
Value
Thrashing it will cost you, although if driven carefully (this is something you should practice a lot with this car before you try booting it) you can get reasonable MPG.
Costs
Can be expensive when things go wrong. Look for lots of history.

Driving
Wow. This car is huge fun, more so in the wet for the experianced driver - be careful, it will snap if pushed too far.
Performance
Very fast for the money. The 200 will chuckle in the faces of most cars, especially boy racers in heavily modified RS Turbos.

Living with it
Reliability
Very reliable. I service mine every 6 months.
Image
Most people don't know the cars potential, so it's fun when they try and race you.
Comfort
The seats are comfortable, but don't support you very well. Replace with some bucket seats, as you will need them. The rear seats are a joke unless you're 5. Parking is a pain in the arse cos of the rear pillar.

Security and Service
Security
Very bad. Invest in an insurance approved alarm.
Service
Very helpful, if somewhat expensive for certain parts ordered.
