"typical nissan"? "cheap out"? really dude? lets think about this logically.

people look for deals and most people don't like it when prices go up. if nissan kept all the features that it came with on the older models PLUS the new features on the newer models, chances are, prices would go up. for example, the pre-2012 models didn't come with a factory oil cooler, nor the LED lights on the front bumper, and other features that i am not aware of for the post 2012 models. equilibrium.

Not to mention its the BASE model. I think that means basic, or lowest amount of options?

When the s14 240sx base model first came out it had tilt wheel, an indoor trunk and fuel release lever. In the 97-98 models they only came with a fuel release lever no trunk release lever and no tilt steering wheel.

it makes sense to me: if you choose the base, you will get bare bones. if the base came with paddle shifters, the only incentive for people getting the sports package is brakes, wheels, spoiler. IMO, paddle shifters should be part of the sports package.

okay, but what more didn't it come with compared to cars today? you cant compare present cars with 20 year old car in terms of technology.

Driftomodachi 06-24-2015 11:27 AM

Um, these are features, not technology

okay, whatever you want to call it, what other features/technology did the cars you mentioned from back then are missing than of the cars today? #smart@ss fail

Relax Tampax, all I'm saying is that Nissan tends to load up features in their cars in the beginning years of a car's life cycle and they cheap out towards the end, which makes complete sense. They do that to make the car more of an attractive value to up sales in the beginning to recover costs.

Who put sand up your vajayjyay?

really dude? sensitive much? all is said was "#smart@ss fail" and you're crying over it? wonder how much butt-hurt you'd be if i really stepped up this pissing contest lol

anyways, in what regards what do you mean "cheap out"? there are certain features the earlier models came with that the later models don't and vice versa, depending on the model, but just bc certain features aren't available doesn't mean it's been "cheaped out".
