General Comments:

The car is very reliable, runs very well,

and has held up better than expected.

Gas mileage is not so good, and handling is mediocre compared to a Toyota Celica that I had before this car.

Power is a little weak for a 2.4 liter motor, but it's alright. Can't complain. Would purchase another 240SX.

The interior is noisy; you can hear the engine winding out at 3,000 RPM, but to be expected from a four cylinder motor.

Very satisfied with the car. Highly recommended.

Faults:

The seats covers are stretched out and seem loose.

The drivers side carpet has a consistent spot that begins to tear.

Sometimes when I put it in park it doesn't activate the neutral safety switch so I have to wiggle the shifter.

General Comments:

The best and only Japanese sports car that is rear-wheel drive.

Easiest car to do burnouts with exception to the 300z.

Handles curves tremendously well.

A one of a kind that attrats a lot of attention.

I have people asking me when I'm going to sell it and I have to tell them never.

When using drive it shifts earlier then I'd like it to.

The front seats have to go all the way forward in order to have passengers in the back.

Cigarette lighter on both of my 240sx's don't work.

Very poor radio reception.

The convertible I own is a major chick-magnet.

Faults:

The leather has started to tear near one of the seams on the drivers seat.

The power antennae makes a lot of noise when raising and lowering.

One headlight takes a few seconds to pop up when they are first turned on.

General Comments:

The 240sx is a pretty fun car for the price, it handles quite well, and is very predictable when approaching the limits of traction.

The front strut and rear multi-link suspension do a good job of keeping the car on line when you encounter a bump mid-corner.

The 240sx has no problem cruising all day at 85-90 miles per hour.

The 240sx handles rain and snow quite well (for a sports car), but it is still a rear wheel drive sports car, and if you abuse the throttle in slippery conditions the tail end can get away from you. I did however two weeks ago, drive over a 4000' pass in Northern California, where there was enough snow to require chains, and I never had any trouble.

Gas mileage is acceptable, about 23 miles per gallon average in my automatic (I wish it was a manual), although I have seen 28 miles per gallon on extended freeway trips.

The interior is quite small for a car of its size. The hand brake lever is always jabbing me in the knee (I am however 6'2" tall), and the rear seats are really more of an upholstered luggage shelf.

The motor gets a little bit winded near redline.

The automatic transmission won't hold a gear all the way to redline unless you force it too with the shift lever, then it will in fact bump into the rev limiter for as long as you want it too.
