Before I bought my 200SX (S14) about 18months ago I read a review which said that it's mainly driven by old men so insurance is quite low. Now I get the impression that it's popularity has exploded now performance car fans have discovered it.

I think this is good news for those of us that already have one because their resale value will be higher. What do you think?

People that i have been taking to seem to reckon that second hand prices are slightyl on the rise, which is by no means a bad thing :)

Dont know about only being driven by old men though, i sware i've seen some old women aswell :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I think one of the main problems is snobishness. No matter how good a Nissan is it just is has not got the image of say an Alfa GTV, Fiat Coupe, BMW coupe etc. Which is a good thing in my opinion as most of the above seem to be driven by some right to55ers.

I think a Nissan DOES look better than the above.:D Specially a Skyline R34:D ....For me that pi55es on the M3 for looks!

Image and looks are two totally sepreate things.. hence people wearing ridiculous designer clothes that have a great image, but look shyte!

DL,

Know what you mean about looks and Image. In your opinion what car holds a image status? I think the TT gives me the impression that there is a "trendy" driving it.

I think you are spot on about the TT. The sort of people I see driving them tend to be not very interested in cars and more in fashion and poncing about.
