1996 Nissan 240SX Reviews, Pricing & Specs







































































































What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1996 Nissan 240SX love its fun driving experience, strong handling, and potential for customization. Many appreciate its sporty feel and drifting capabilities, though some wish it had more power. The limited space in the back seat and occasional reliability issues are common dislikes."
The Navan kit and the color combination have got to be my favorite part. The KA really takes off between 2nd and 3rd. I love the feel of the seats and the interior. I love my 240 no matter the problems it has
August 9, 2009great car, it handles like a dream, its very forgiving, easy to tune, easy to drift
March 25, 2008My sister used to own this 1996 Nissan 240SX about 5 years ago. It was a quick 2-seater with very little room for a 3rd or 4th passenger. It was fun to drive and relatively fast and not too bad on gas. The stick shift was a perfect distance away from the driver and made it easy to throw it up or down a gear. I really enjoyed driving this car and would recommend it to anyone.

June 28, 2007I got this as my first "official" car. Right off the bat I was amazed by the handling of it. So nimble, it felt like a go cart. Its a blast to drive, and tuner friendly. It's a shame Nissan discontinued the S-Chassis
November 5, 2010Great car for getting around town and saving some gas. Handles amazing. Will be a great project car.
February 6, 2008This car is not one you want to leave alone, you constantly want to personalize it to yourself. There are many different aspects that most people love about this car. First is the appearance; it looks great! Athough, the front end did get updated in later years, the car remained the same, and the rear of this model 240SX, called the S14, is the best looking of all the variants. The 2.4 litre engine will take regular gas and can be very economical, but has enough power to get you into plenty of trouble. There are many different choices if more power is what you seek, and any import car magazine loves the S14 and the many different ways to extract more power out of it. The interior is very comfortable and very spacious, as long as you don't plan on witting 4 people in it. The back seat is best used as a storage area, rather than a seat, as if the front passengers are anything above normal height, there is no room for legs comfortably. The handling of this car is top notch, it is very comfortable, but at the same time very responsive when the driving situation turns sporty. This can of course be heightened even more with the most basic of bolt on parts. It is obvious why this car is the favorite of drifting fans and racers, as it is one of the best platforms for almost all kinds of racing. Although the engine that was sold in this car in North America is regarded as insufficient in it's power output by racers, it can be changed out with many other higher output engines that will suit anyone's need for speed
December 17, 2007Its a fun little drift car. I call it my third love, because I rebuilt it from the ground up. I don't really like the rims, but they are what was on the car when I bought it. Its loud, it slides, and its all mine! What more could I ask for?
August 8, 2008Overall, this car is really tight in its handling and acceleration. I have the stick and the clutch is really tight and it has a nice short throw. I really love this car and the only thing that could be better is the horsepower. It doesn't have much, but it makes up for it in handling. I picked it up for 2500 and it was a great deal.
