1995 Nissan 240SX Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Top speed is about 130 mph, and that fits right into Nissan's marketing strategy. The driver wheeling one of these coupes will find the cockpit pretty much state of the art. A four-gauge instrument panel lies directly ahead of the driver, with tachometer to the left and speedometer to the right. These two central instruments are flanked by a heat gauge, left, and fuel gauge, right. Console-mounted shift levers and temperature and stereo controls are in conventional central locations. I would have liked to see an oil-pressure gauge, especially with the five-speed manual gearbox that is the... |

1998 nissan 240sx Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...The Nissan 240SX has moved uptown, baby. It retains rear-wheel drive and the twin-cam four. It retains speedy performance. It retains suave good looks. But in trying to become a mini-Infiniti, the Nissan 240SX has lost its magical charm. This doesn't mean it's a bad car. The Nissan 240SX should do rather well with people who find the more refined Acura Integra GS-R unsatisfactory. Inside, the 240SX displays excellent ergonomics, with rich leather seating surfaces an extra-cost frill. Load on the options, and the 240SX SE approaches 28 grand. Time for a wake-up call, Nissan. Twenty-eight... |

1995 Nissan 240SX Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...But the company also noted that market demographics indicated that the age bracket of buyers of these vehicles was moving upward. As a consequence, design parameters put more emphasis on ease of operation and safety. The quest for reduced noise and vibration was pursued with technology that previously had been reserved for the Nissan 300ZX and the Infiniti Q45. Fit and f inish has been greatly improved through advanced manufacturing techniques. And the new exterior design also offers better driver visibility. The reinforced C- pillars and front roof pillars are thinner than those of the... |

1996 nissan 240sx Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...The Nissan 240SX has moved Uptown, baby. It retains rear-wheel drive and the twin-cam four. It retains speedy performance. It retains suave good looks. But in trying to become a mini-Infiniti, the Nissan 240SX has lost its magical charm. This doesn't mean it's a bad car. The Nissan 240SX should do rather well with people who find the more refined, V6-equipped Mazda MX-6 LS unsatisfactory. Inside, the 240SX displays excellent ergonomics, with rich leather seating surfaces an extra-cost frill. Load on the options, and the 240SX SE approaches $28,000. For 1996, Nissan keeps the changes to a... |

1991 Nissan 240SX Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...However, I think the 240 SX deserves a better set of tires or maybe it needs a recalibration of the four-wheel disc brakes. On wet pavement the front tires lock up easily and the car slides helplessly. Perhaps anti-lock brakes should be made standard. FIT, FINISH, CONTROLS This is the 240's weak point. The interior looks chintzy. The bumpy brown cloth covering the seats, door panels and glove box vaguely resembled burlap and the headliner appeared to be stamped out of some type of cardboard-like material. The air conditioner took far too long to blow cold, and the instrument configuration is... |

1992 Nissan 240SX Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The return to the closed position is equally fast. Speaking of quick and fast, the 240SX`s 2.4-liter, 16-valve, 155-h.p. 4- cylinder engine is no slouch in responding to your command. Some will enjoy the engine growl when you kick the pedal, though others will wonder why the need for sound effects in a car meant more for laid-back cruising than off- the-light power. Standard equipment includes power brakes and steering, power windows and door locks, AM/FM cassette with power antenna, cruise control, tilt steering, leather-wrapped wheel, and driver/passenger vanity mirrors. Air conditioning... |

1995 Nissan 240SX Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The white background gauges changec lor at night, but during the day they simply look cheap. The Roll-Royce "Flying Lady" hood ornament is distinctive and attractive; the 240SX white gauges are distinctive but not very fashionable. One other novel feature is the addition of a12-volt socket in the dash where you would usually find a cigarette lighter. Because smoking is considered one of the 7 million deadly sins, you get a plug to attach a radar detector rather than the lighter-unless you request the lighter. Odd that an automaker would consider smoking socially unacceptable but going 100... |

1995 Nissan 240SX Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Maximum torque is set at 16 0 pounds-feet at 4,400 rpm. Powerfour-wheel disc brakes are standard, and anti-lock brakes are optionalon both models. Essentially, the difference between the two cars is demeanor. The SXis the more conservative of the two. The SX SE, in addition to itssuggestive name, sports a rear deck spoiler, fog lights, a rearstabilizer bar for better handling, and a harder-riding suspension togive it a sporty feel. An electronically controlled, four-speed automatic transmission isoptional on both models. Complaints: Tiny trunk. Lousy rear seats. Bothersome road noise... |
