Product Overview

Nissan Silvia S15 (also sold as 200SX) is a compact coupe in production from 1999 to 2002. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 2.0 liters.
Compared to the S14 model, the S15 Silvia has a smoother, though less elegant styling. It is slightly smaller, even though it was built on the same platform with the same wheelbase. Unfortunately, it is therefore less handsome overall.
Utility-minded owners will have to keep in mind that the 240L (8cu-ft) cargo space may not be sufficient.
Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the Nissan Silvia / 200SX S15 uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance. Another plus is the small 9.8m (32.1ft) turning circle.
