Since 1994, Nissan was the sole Japanese producer of a front-engined, rear-wheel drive sport coupe. The Toyota Celica (first Japanese import in this category), Honda Prelude, Acura Integra and Mazda MX-6 are now all front-wheel drive. Think of the 240SX as a small T-Bird and you won't be too far off. Emphasis has moved away from sports car performance toward luxury.
Year-to-year changes
1995
For 1995, wheelbase and track have both been increased, overall length fractionally decreased and weight is up slightly. Nissan has dropped the fastback and convertible versions and concentrated on an all-new notchback body shell using a refined version of last year's drivetrain, Nissan claims less vibration, lower noise levels and lower emissions compared with 1994.
New SE instruments are electroluminescent with an appearance similar to those in the Lexus LS 400, extremely legible with red needles standing in sharp relief against a white background.
Both the base Coupe and upmarket SE have the same driveline and basic suspension, the SE adds a rear anti-sway bar and 16-in. wheels, as well as the option of ABS/limited slip.
Standard equipment on the base Coupe includes power steering, power brakes, a 50-watt AM-FM cassette stereo, tinted glass, power mirrors, power windows, rear-window defroster. A 160-watt, 6-speaker stereo is optional in the Coupe, standard on the SE. The SE has optional power sunroof and leather seating surfaces.
The 240SX, Coupe and SE, are practical cars, well balanced, with excellent torque, handsome looks. Nissan has avoided trendiness and produced a usable car just one step removed from the practicality of a sedan.
