Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1980 200SX.
The 1980 Nissan 200SX is a compact front‑wheel‑drive coupe that later served as the subject of a multi‑year complaint record spanning 1991 through 2001. During that period the model logged a single complaint in 1991, the lowest tally, while complaints peaked at 58 in 1995. These figures illustrate the uneven reliability trajectory experienced by the model in its later years.
