New Car Test Drive Review

Category: Review:
Summary:

A polished blend of mild and wild
By Professional Test Driver, NewCarTestDrive.com

The new Nissan 200SX may be considered expensive, especially when compared with competing domestic coupes such as the Cavalier, Sunfire, Neon, Saturn and Ford Escort. And this is one of the Nissans that's assembled in the United States.

Nevertheless, it's a very appealing car. The styling is smooth and sexy, the quality is high and it's relatively practical. The SE-R version offers a little more performance and a slightly sportier appearance, but we think the SE is the best bet. it's well-equipped, plenty of fun and it'll save you somewhere around $2000 over the SE.

Overview:

Nature abhors a vacuum. that's what the 1993 demise of the NX sport coupes created in Nissan's lineup vacancy that was only partially filled by the Sentra SE-R coupe. And that, too, has disappeared. When the new, redesigned 1995 Sentra lineup was announced in late 1994, there was no longer a coupe version.

But not for long. In place of the defunct Sentra coupe is a new family of Nissan coupes, separated in name from the new Sentra sedans, though they're the same size and share most of the same mechanical components.

A spunky competitor of the Honda Civic, Plymouth Neon and Saturn coupes, the Nissan 200SX is a smooth addition to the reasonably priced fun-car market and may even replace the pricier 240SX before long.

There are three different models: the base level 200SX, the well-equipped 200SX SE and the sporty 200SX SE-R. The base 200SX is a no-frills car with 13-in. wheels; the 200SX SE is the mid-grade model with 14-in. alloy wheels; and the 200SX SE-R is racier, with handsome 15-in. aluminum wheels and a little wing on the back. The latter was our test model, which was priced just over $15,500 complete with a peppy 2.0-liter engine, anti-lock brakes (ABS), air conditioning and cruise control.
