    200sx is fine in the front, just dont put anyone taller than a dwarf in the back (unless you want to permanantly damage them)

    yeah, Fiat dealers arnt know for customer service. Have a look around ww.fiatforum.com.

    Im after a 3door Fiat Stilo 1.9JTD in 12 months time, then remap it from 115bhp to 155 bhp, very hard to find thou, not many around.

    Heh, the garage I got my Punto from is third on the list of "Fiat Garages to Avoid..." - That figures, they were pretty dire every time I used them. It's probably enough to put me off Fiat/Alfa for a few years yet.

    That's part of the reason I'm tempted by a Japanese car, I've had a couple now and not had any problems with the cars themselves or the people fixing them, really. I suppose most people with 200SXs go to an independant specialist rather than a dealer, though?

    Yeah either take to specialists or do it yourself like i do.

    because theyre so rare nissan don train their mechanics up on the 200sx. Dont go to nissan for a service otherwise you'll end up with a micra engine and stuff

    what about a rover? they are stupidly cheap at the moment, however parts have been confirmed and the value may look to increase... you could get a mg version of a 75, or better vfm can be had with the 45/25..
