1997 Nissan 200SX Preview summaryImage

The 200SX, Nissan's sporty coupe, saw only a few changes for the 1997 model year, including the addition of a spoiler on all models.

The 1997 200SX came in three trims: the base trim, the midrange SE, and the sporty SE-R. The base and SE came standard with a 1.6-liter 115-horsepower engine, and the SE-R had a 2.0-liter 140-horsepower engine. A five-speed manual transmission was standard, with an optional four-speed automatic. Fuel economy is about 28/37 for the base engine and 23/30 for the larger engine.

Drivers are, for the most part, pleased with the 1997 Nissan 200SX. Many find it fun to drive, with a lively engine and excellent handling. It is also affordable to purchase and own, getting excellent gas mileage. Some drivers wish it had more power and complain that the seats are not very comfortable.

i have had my 200sx for two years and i love it. the gas milage is unbeatable! its pretty quick for the 1.6 liter but has a small clutch making it wear down quickly. its a blast to drive. power windows with a sunroof that hides inside the roof. the build quality is not top notch, but it is a 97 after all. cost of ownership is little to nothing.
