You do have to remember, it was tested in the same class as BMW’s and Benz’s etc. Also jeremy clarkson drives exotics as a fulltime job. His opinion of a car is different than ours. I’ll go back to 97 era and say if i drove 355’s and aston martins daily, I wouldn’t find a kouki 200sx to be anything special either. ---

haha i still think the kouki looks sick. maybe a drop will make it look better though. But yea, i guess he just doesn’t have the characteristics of the target group that nissan was going after. ---

We also do not drive stock 200sx’s eitheir. For example, I have never driven a 240 without coilovers. Almost all of us with S14’s have some sort of modification that would allow it to perform in some way that is superior to a stock 200sx. Imagine paying 40K for a stock kouki without an aftermarket for it. It wouldn’t be the best buy to me eitheir. I do love the simple interiors…that shift knob has to go though. What a horrendously large blob of a shift knob. ---

Well the only negative thing said was he didn’t like the appearance and interior. Both of those are a matter of personal preference/taste. Performance wise he had nothing negative to say. He actually had a ton of fun driving the car the way he put it. Lol@ cutting the prelude and celica before even going into its performance. Basically said they ugly and get them out of here. ---

If Jeremey Clarkson say’s it’s ‘rubish’, it’s rubish. The guy has driven more cars than you guys can dream of. Than again, he allways seems to be negative and only looking for the performance aspect of the vehicle. J/K, 240’s rock my world 😃 ---

he did not say its that bad, he said its fun to drive and thats coming from a guy who drives super cars for a living. plus the part about feeling pride for your car, well thats just personal opinion…
