Positive Review
Bought from my Aunt, who was original owner in Oregon, drove it our to New York state it where we have conquered the snow together, and now finally after 4 years we are moving back out west. It is a true joy to drive all the time. I have driven a lot of different cars and everything today feels flimsy and cheap. Out here in central New York there is only 1 240sx, mine. I plan on never getting rid of this car. Nissan should make a special edition or anniversary release of the 240sx.

Looks, Handling, MPG
Small backseat, Small trunk
Bought this car new and I still love it! This thing is a beast, and although it doesn't have pep on the start, it has the mid-range torque that'll fly. It's had it share of regular repairs which are expected after driving it for so many years. It's got more than 300k mileage and still going strong. I wish they would make the same car with this style again since it just looks amazing , although mine needs a paint job, but that's to be expected since the poor thing has never been housed in a garage.
Dependable, low maintenance, fun to drive.
A little more road noise than I like
Rear wheel drive, I've replaced an alternator, and water pump around 220k miles, hub bearings around 270k besides standard maintenance that's it so far. About to do a timing chain and subframe bushings, bushing all the way around. Parts are becoming hard time find. Searched for a while for a power steering pump that just went out. Wish I would have dropped an RB in it years ago now the price of it is insane. Great driving car, Handles great with over 300k still runs with most cars. Owned a 95 before this one and when it got totaled. Had to get another one.
Pleasure to drive
Only seats 4
Purchased in 1996 and haven't found a car I enjoy driving more. It's fun, visual is excellent for safety and handles like a charm on local rides and the freeways. Sporty yet delivers a worthy comfort for those 12 hour road trips.
Dependability, economy, responsive, and fun
A bit cramped for a large person, storage
Fun to drive, good on gas and dependable beyond any expectation. I have owned this car for 19 years, and had only one part replaced that was not maintenance scheduled. A small AC tubing connection had a tiny crack in the fitting connection. That was 17 years ago. I have driven the car up and down the west coast, over 2000 miles each trip, over a half dozen times and never a single issue of any kind. It was even snowing in the Siskiyou mountains and on the Grape Vine on one drive, and the car handled like a champ. I love this car.
everything
weak stock motor
bets looking car perfect chassis naturally under powered but easy to modify and fix that
Lightweight RWD, strong chassis, Multi-link.
Hard to find, sought after valuable car
I would never sell me S14 240 for 1,500.
Handling, styling, durability.
Drivetrain, interior room, availability.(scarce.)
I sold my 95' SE Coupe because my kids complained about the back seat. (admittedly; tiny) I should have sold the kids!(Lol) Missed it from the day it left. One of the best looking coupes in the world. (mine was a beautiful metallic blue/green that looked 'purplish' in certain light conditions."Trick" factory paint.) I have owned many 'Z' cars, and loved them all; but this car out handled all of them. A bit underpowered (noisy Altima engine); but that can be fixed easily.("tuner's" delight). Incredibly rugged and comfortable. If I could only find another one!
none
Original owner of S14 Kouki White. Most dependable car I have ever owned. Looks beast even after 17+ years. Miles and miles of fun on this baby. I still get thumbs up everywhere I go. People stop and ask me if I'm selling all the time...... Answer: Nope, its my precious xP
