1996 Nissan 200SX SE-R coupe

Cheap and fun, the 1995-1998 Nissan 200SX SE-R was overlooked by most sport coupe buyers. Featuring a sweet-revving dual overhead cam four that was mated to a precise shifting gearbox, the SE-R was fun to drive on winding roads but not at the price of ride comfort.

Based on the Sentra sedan and sharing its wheelbase, the 200SX had a roomy back seat for a sport coupe. The styling was either plain or Q-ship depending on your point of view.
