Common Nissan 200sx problems
The Nissan 200SX, a popular sports car, has several common issues that owners have reported. One of the most common problems is engine misfires, which can be caused by various factors such as faulty spark plugs, a clogged fuel filter, or a malfunctioning fuel injector. This issue can lead to a decrease in engine performance and fuel efficiency, and in some cases, it may cause the check engine light to illuminate.
Another common problem with the Nissan 200SX is oil consumption, which can be caused by worn piston rings or valve seals. This issue can lead to a decrease in engine performance and an increase in engine wear, and in some cases, it may cause the engine to overheat. Regular maintenance, such as changing the oil and replacing the air filter, can help prevent this issue from occurring.
Overheating is another problem that can arise in the Nissan 200SX, often caused by a malfunctioning radiator or thermostat. This issue can lead to a decrease in engine performance and an increase in engine wear, and in some cases, it may cause the engine to fail. Regular maintenance, such as checking the coolant level and replacing the thermostat, can help prevent this issue from occurring.
The Nissan 200SX is also known for its body problems, such as rust and paint issues. The car's paint is known to peel and fade easily, while the body is prone to rust, particularly in the area of the rear spoiler bracket. This issue can lead to a decrease in the car's appearance and value, and in some cases, it may cause structural damage.
In addition to these common issues, the Nissan 200SX is also known for its transmission problems, particularly in higher mileage vehicles. Timing chain noise, a rattling or ticking, is a common problem that can lead to timing chain failure. This issue can cause a decrease in engine performance and an increase in engine wear, and in some cases, it may cause the engine to fail.
The Nissan 200SX has a reputation for reliability, but like any car, it requires regular maintenance and care to keep it running smoothly. With proper maintenance and care, this sports car can continue to provide a thrilling driving experience for years to come.

I hope you're doing well! I just wanted to share that I've had this car for five years and it's been an absolute joy to drive. I've never had any issues with it, and it's been incredibly reliable. Plus, the gas mileage is great! :)

Vehicle year: 1997
Congratulations on your new car! It sounds like you're really enjoying it so far. With only 85000 miles, it's great that it still feels like new. Your car also sounds like it has some great features, like the sunroof, CD player, spoiler, and fog lights. It's always exciting to make upgrades to your car, like the new alloy wheels you're planning. I hope you continue to have a great experience with your car. Just a heads up, you mentioned needing an alignment and a gear oil change, so it might be worth getting those taken care of soon to keep your car running smoothly.

Vehicle year: 1998
I bought this car when I got tired of my 2-liter Ford Escort Sport Se. I must say, this car is awesomely powerful, even though the engine is only 1.6. I took civics and focus without much effort. I would like to get the SE-R for the 4 wheel disc breaks and more power, but it comes at the cost of gas mileage, power windows/doors and sun/moon roof. I wouldn't mind a 2002 Sentra SE-R Spec V, but they are still too expensive and most likely will be cop magnets. That's why I want a '98 SE-R, because no one expects too much out of it. This car is great and I highly recommend it to everyone! I have a black car with a custom grill and grey seat covers. The car looks awesome!

I paid $4k for my '95 200SX SE with 130kmi on it. I was a bit worried when I drove it home over bumpy roads due to the squeaking and clunking, but as days went by and my mechanic assured me it was fine, I slowly got used to it. Now, with 150kmi on it, I've replaced the clutch, front struts/shocks, and am now looking at replacing the left front axle and rear struts. However, if I can't find something that feels better (I'm really surprised because it shifts poorly and the seat is totally uncomfortable), I'll just keep putting money into it until it dies!

You have an excellent commuter car that is great on mileage and agile in traffic or curving roads. With routine maintenance, it has served your needs well. You confidently paid to have new struts, feeling it will continue to deliver over 4 more years of commute driving.

I've had my Nissan for 12 years and overall it's been a great car. However, I have experienced some issues with the system shutting off while driving, especially in below freezing temperatures. Despite replacing the alternator and battery annually, the dealership has been unable to identify the root cause of the problem. If this issue could be resolved, I would definitely consider purchasing another Nissan. It's worth noting that the car has been very dependable during the summer months!
Laverna O'Connell 2024-10-03
Vehicle year: 1996
I bought this car used back in 2002. At the time, I had a Camry with 160,000 miles that needed $5,000 worth of repairs. Instead of fixing it, I decided to use that money to buy the 200sx. Since then, I've put 24,000 miles on it. I did have to replace the brakes, struts, and a CV boot, as well as get a wheel alignment and new rotors since the purchase, but overall it's been a great car!
Louvenia Feil 2024-08-20

This car has a sporty look, but it lacks pick-up power when you initially hit the gas. Even my automatic '92 Escort had more power. However, it easily reaches high speeds and is very fuel-efficient with little maintenance.
