SL should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Nissan 200SX

Plus

Excellant acceleration in all gears.
Great handling in dry, incl power slides in 1 & 2
Leather seats
A/c
6 CD auto changer
Nice shape (in my view)
Low revs at high cruising speeds
Nissan reliability
Low servicing costs
Entertaining views of girls getting out of low slung cars in high
slung skirts
Passing Nova's whilst I'm in third at 80 mph

Minus

Low grip in wet under power
Tyre wear at rear (8,000 miles) possibly due to above power slides
Rattle under rear boot lid
Spark plugs at £16 each
Blue metallic gets very very dirty very very quickly
Boot space looks good but hinges require a lot of room
All Mondeo / Astra drivers know that they can beat me off at
the lights, then following their cars seeing the smoke / dust from
their exhausts as they rev to 7k RPM plus in the attempt.
Insurance costs
Unable to see front and back bumbers.


I really had to think of the minuses, all are outweighed by the pluses 10 fold All other 200SX drivers I have meet agree, very few cars come close for the price.
