Nissan Silvia Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1979–1983) — Third Generation
The third-generation Nissan Silvia brings classic coupe styling to the used-car search. If you’re considering one, give maintenance history and mechanical condition plenty of weight alongside its appearance.
Selected Nissan Silvia engine and transmission combinations include the gasoline 1.8 MT and 1.8 AT, both with rear-wheel drive. The manual gives you direct control over gear selection, while the automatic reduces effort in traffic. A test drive should help you assess shift quality and decide which suits your driving.
