The Nissan Silvia S15 and 200SX, were both late 1990s-early 2000s sports coupes that gained a cult following for their affordability, performance, and customisation potential. Both came equipped with a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine making them lively performers on the track. While not the most fuel-efficient, they weren't exorbitant in terms of running costs.
The interiors are comfortable enough for everyday driving, but lack the bells and whistles of modern infotainment systems. However, their simplicity makes them prime candidates for aftermarket upgrades, allowing owners to tailor the driving experience. Both cars are popular platforms for enthusiasts due to the wealth of available aftermarket parts, letting you optimise them for racing or simply personalise your ride.
The Silvia has a slight edge in terms of production year (potentially better condition for used models), but the 200SX might be easier to find depending on your location. Ultimately, both are fantastic options for those seeking a fun, affordable, and customisable sports car.
