    Default The reason you hate 240s.... I'm guilty of this too.

    The only thing we love as much as our women is our cars. For most of us, myself included... we love cars more than women. We do however, have a relative view on our cars as we do women. We all like unique cars, we want a car that not everyone has, and when we do have our prized possession, we dont like to share it with others or let anyone touch it... much like our women!

    I'm sure every guy alive at some point in their life has uttered the phrase " if you wouldn't hit that you're gay ". well, if you wouldnt drive this, you're a peter swallowing, dress wearing nancy boy who will probably be slow to respond to this thread only because you're waiting for your nails to dry.


    The thing is..... No matter how much that girl cleans up, whether or not she finished college and got that degree that placed her in that nice respectable office job. We still wouldnt want to know that she was a filthy whore in the past. Even worse.... to have a constant reminder of her past in your face everyday via facebook or to have pictures of her pop up every time you google search.

    This is exactly what a 240sx is. In its purest form it is a prom queen. On its worst day it's a filthy skank hooker that gets passed around the frat party to anyone willing to take a turn. No matter whos hands this vehicle winds up in, we cant forget where its been. In the car world, once you go black you can go back..... to red, green, blue, yellow... or any other color, maybe even stripes if that is what tickles your fancy. We dont want to think about someone hitting the walls in our beloved and cherished sports car when we love and caress it with the polish wheel. We dont want to wonder how many times our mechanical obsession has been rear ended in its past.



    No matter how much the 240sx cleans up, we simply cant forget the skank that was. Though most of us would gladly take a ride if given the chance and probably think about it a few nights when nobody else is around, most of you just simply arent ready to put a ring on its finger.


    ​All puns intended.

    I love 180SXs. Given the chance, a replication of one will/would be my next route.

    I gotcha!

    By the way, the closest to a 240 I'd ever own would be a 200SX. Always liked that car. Later, QD.

    I know what you mean. I know hondas aren't the greatest cars in the world, but hell they're everywhere. My very first car was a n 89 240sx and I loved it. I transferred over to hondas (which I regret constantly) because that's what most people in my area had. The few people with 240s despise us for some reason.

    I love/hate Honda and Nissan equally

    One of my all time favorite cars are the b13 sentras, but i've owned many many civics. All makes and models have their pros as well as cons. That's just how it goes lol

    I like 240's but the only nice ones around are stock automatic models because every manual model out there has been trashed, poorly modified, and neglected. I don't know why 240 owner's take such bad care of their cars...

    Well I detail cars for a living and I think I have an answer. People treat brand new cars like straight Shit no matter the value. With the 240sx being such cheap sports cars in their day, a lot of lower class people drove the hell out of them and couldn't maintain them properly.

    Why would you try to please a "hater", or anyone other than yourself for that matter? Krappy has a badass 240 and I doubt anyone has told him he wasted his money....

    From a pure financial perspective any money spent on cars other than maintenance is a waste but we do what we do because we don't give a fuck what others think.

    i'm sayin people hate on 240s regardless of what they do with them. Stock, modded, body kit, no body kit, fast, slow, clean, beater.. doesnt matter. The people that dislike 240s will always dislike 240s.

    As for me, I don't "hate" on these cars. They just aren't appealing to me. I don't say they're shitty or unreliable or anything. Just don't see the "coolness" factor, is all. Later, QD.

    well, the 240sx shares characteristics with some of the most successful and celebrated cars ever made... skyline, bmw, foxbody ect.... the cars you DO like... share characteristics with any generic sedan you could find at any used car lot around the world for less than 5k. There's not a decisive body line on the 200sx, you could slap a geo badge on it and nobody would notice. And thats just judging the cars on appearance.... completely leaving out that the 240sx/silvia is the little brother to a car japanese people affectionately named "Godzilla"

    i understand taste is a matter of opinion but i honestly cant think of a fathomable excuse why anyone would like this vehicle and not anything else nissan makes... but thats me.
