General Comments:

This has been an extraordinary car. Very reliable and very low operating cost. It averages 34 mpg on 87 octane fuel.

This is the best handling vehicle that I have ever owned. The brakes are also exceptional, and have helped me avoid some collisions with animals in the dark.

The engine is very powerful and responsive, and the transmission is slick and smooth. They did a lot of things right when building this car.

It has over 158000 miles, and everything still works on the vehicle.

The struts are starting to clunk and will need to be replaced in the future. My only other complaint would be the front seat's quality and comfort are lacking.

Faults:

When I first purchased the car, it was running on only 3 cylinders. Even though, power was still good! Problem was sourced to a faulty fuel injector.

Some of the exhaust heat shielding was starting to rust away. I manually removed it all.

Carpet was in terrible condition, especially on the driver's side.

Hatch cylinders no longer holds the hatch up.

General Comments:

After injector was replaced, the car pulls very hard. Nissan chose to use the 2.4 liter KA24DE from it's light truck for the US/Canadian versions of this car. Even though, the car has decent acceleration. The car's governor will kick you back at 117mph.

Even with stock suspension, this car handles like a dream. Cornering is quick, and confident. There is little body roll, but not entirely noticeable. I eventually replaced the stock struts with after-market adjustable coil-overs. With these, it a whole new car.

Braking is decent, but not spectacular.

Stock petals make it a little hard to heel-n-toe.

Faults:

63,000 miles-replaced top and rear curtain.

70,000 miles-replaced factory original brake pads, all 4 wheels.

83,000 miles-replaced valve cover gasket.

90,000 miles-replaced battery.

General Comments:

Currently need to replace struts, all wheels.

Seats need to be repaired and recovered.

Great little convertible, handles great with BF Goodrich T/As, no engine or auto transmission problems, no rust, no paint problems. No ABS brakes, but stops great. A real fun car to drive.

Faults:

Dash board lights, digital speedometer and odometer do not work!

General Comments:

I love this car and think it is awesome!

I just need to find out why these things wrong with it are wrong!

Faults:

The only problem I've had with the car is when one of the fuel injectors went bad and had to be replaced.

A lot of paint chips on the front.

General Comments:

This car is one of the best handling vehicles for the money.

It has nice pick up for a automatic four cylinder.

Terrible in snow and rain, I ditched it twice in one day.

Seats are terrible for hard cornering.

OK gas mileage, avg 17 city/ 26 highway.

Super reliable, will not die on you.

Does excellent burnouts comparable to muscle cars.

Faults:

There is a small drip from the oil pan.

There are a couple of buzzes and rattles that I cannot locate.

The front seat upholstery is loose and saggy.

General Comments:

This is a well made car for it's price.

It runs well and sounds very nice with a three inch exhaust. The handling is superb, although the ride can be a little harsh over bumps. The gearbox is very smooth, although it is occasionally a hard shift to fifth under hard acceleration.

I have averaged 30 MPG with mixed highway driving, so the economy is good.
