RWD, appearance (both interior and exterior), and the thing that only revealed itself later down the road: parts cross-compatibility. This is the key ingredient as to why these cars are amazing. The SOHC was a heap, but given the circumstances... at least NISSAN nipped that in the bud and released the DOHC 2 years later. Its not like the rest of the world had this problem since they had CA/SR and (optional) turbo.

Would be interesting. I drove the S14 when it was released and was not pleased/impressed. Maybe because I was comparing it to my fastback, which is not a fair comparison.

DSM community is pretty active. The 4G63 is a good motor. Rest of the cars are shit.
