LOL. OK think what you like. A very common trap to fall in though. Remember I made a living from working on these

Cheaper, its about £80 cheaper to insure a 200sx than it is my 172 for me.

Also dont let the auto's put you off, there are conversion kits available for about £150 on SXOC. Reliability isn't defo gonna be better than a clio just because its japanese. I have had my S13 for 2 years, and blown 2 turbo's so far on a stock setup and also there is more than mechanical reliability. jap cars rust easily as IIRC they dont get undersealed in Japan. My UK model also has a few rust issues I've just patched a hole in the wing. Also a lot of 200s have been abused by wanna be drifters so look carefully. Saying all that, I love mine to bits and couldn't ever imagine getting rid of it

On what though? S13/S14/a/S15? My mates L reg 200sx def has less probs than any of my valvers of the same year. I've seen standard 200's on 200k plus with just servicing. The thing to remember is most sx's are running almost 100bhp over standard. I'm not arguing here. Just i've found them very reliable as does most people i speak to and SXOC.
