Nissan 240SX Used Car Review

The Nissan 240SX was one of the sportiest "not quite a sports car" cars on the market for many years.

Well appointed, stylish, sporty, and nimble, it was loved around the world for its real world driveability, handling, reasonable sticker price, and Nissan build quality.

While the Nissan 240SX was sporty looking, well appointed, and handled really well (thanks to Macpherson struts up front, multi-link rear suspension, rear wheel drive, and relatively light weight) it was generally considered too underpowered to classify as a true sports car.

Fortunately, what the Nissan 240SX lacks in raw power it more than makes up for in real world practicality and driveability.

This is a car that begs to be taken on long drives up the coast, that doesn’t mind the occasional pedal to the metal moment, and that loves a few good turns.

The relatively low horsepower 2.4liter I4 engine was one of Nissan’s most reliable and dependable four cylinder engines.

This isn't something that usually attracts sports car buyers however, but that's good news for those in the market for a good used car: used Nissan 240SX's with plenty of life left in them are widely available and at decent prices.

A good used Nissan 240SX is undoubtedly a great car to drive and own, and even though it’s not super cheap or super exciting, most owners love them and say only good things.

With the Nissan 240SX you get a fair amount of car for your used car dollar, and if you can get past the lack of raw power, it is a wonderful used car bargain. Like a fine cigar, the Nissan 240SX is best appreciated slowly--and savoured.
