Advantages: 40 mpg, T-top, Japanese build quality, reliability

Disadvantages: Boat Like Suspension, uninspiring 1.6 engine, my mates think i'm gay

I have had many cars. I have driven just about any car over a year old thanks to a father in the motor industry. I can't afford a Lotus Elise yet (gimme a chance I only graduated 3 months ago!), so i bought a Nissan.

I realise to many of you this may sound like a sin. I realise that many of you think 'Jap Crap', boring, boring, boring. Well we are all entitled to our opinion.

However, my car is a 95 'N', how many of you out there spend as little on upkeep of your car as I do (Compare like for like here)? If you have a peugeot or other french car, you might like to think hard about this. OK, so Nissan's aren't notoriously sexy cars, and my 100nx may be an aquired taste, BUT, I know it will start every morning when I turn the key.

So to the car. Its Blue and the roof comes off. Some people may say it looks slightly camp, and being a non-homophobe heterosexual guy, I agree with them. In the summer though, you will be sorry, oh ye of little faith.

The 1600cc 16valve engine will never win many traffic light races, in america they got a 2.0 litre version (I hate them for that). You could always fit the engine out of a 200sx touring into it.....

I'm afraid the standard car does actually handle like a boat. But 35 mm worth of Lowering springs later and you have a nicely set up roundabout racer! As you can imagine, the interior is dull, BUT, (peugeot drivers take heed) EVERYTHING IN IT WORKS! Including all the electrics. There isn't much space for some back seat action, it will take 2 full grown adults at a squeeze.

The boot is a really good size, it will take two suticases full of gold. This can be attributed to its practical hatchback design, these Japs think of everything! However, fellow Stereo Boom Boys (I.C.E)beware, the parcel shelf is a weird shape and difficult to cut into. PLUS, the spare wheel is accessed through the boot, so remember this when planning your 6 X 15 inch Sub E
nclosure.

So in conclusion, my 100nx may look gay, but with that sexy Targa-Top plus... Please read this:
