Cool, but the S14 is better.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Would've been a decent machine if it wasn't for the ricers and JDM fanboys.

Though some modified ones can look good when done in the right hands (picture above shows opposite), it can't save it from Uncool.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Cool stock, but none of them are, so uncool.

 

[TexRex]

Meh. Varietta ought to drive it down but I still don't care about it enough to drag it down. Camaros and Mustangs aren't the only nameplates that ought to have died off.

 

[Adamgp]

Mad tyte JDM yo!

SU.

 

[Stotty]

Universally ruined by the JDM crowd and 'stance' boys.

SU

 

[Kent]

I voted cool because I'm not judging the drivers/owners, voted cool for rwd coupe with decent style (performance as well from what I've heard).

 

[JR98]

While I do like the S15 alot, the JDM stance thing ruins its coolness. Would be a cool, almost SZ, if it weren't for people ruining them.

 

[TexRex]

not judging the drivers/owners

Wish more would adhere to this. While I despise "stance," and agree with those statements made by like-minded individuals, it has nothing to do with the car itself.

 

[GTP_Ingram]

They look dull when they're stock, and idiotic when they fall into the wrong hands, which sadly seems to happen all too frequently.

 

[Legro]

The Japanese E36 Coupe, except no one but car people will know what it is.

 

[GTRacer22]

Really great Japanese sports car, good style and performance. Cool.

 

[Roger the Horse]

I absolutely love these things. I'd be highly tempted to acquire one if I was in the market.

 

[Zenith]

Grrrr it's so angry.

Uncool.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

It's like how the Integra is to me: a solid, cheap sports car whose image is ruined by the aftermarkets.

 

[Dagger311]

Cool stock, but none of them are, so uncool.

This.

 

[Joey D]

Seriously uncool, suffers from a similar problem that the Skyline does. They seem to be obsessed over by JDM fans and the drift crowd, neither of which are cool.

 

[TheCracker]

Not as seriously uncool as the the S14, so can only give it a low Uncool.

 

[Sage Ages]

The "JDM" crowd hasn't been able to ruin it yet thanks to the federal government, but it wasn't very cool to begin with.

 

[Jason115]

Another car with potential of being cool, which is ruined by its fan base. Shame.

 

[SVX]

Can look really nice done up, but standard they look bland and tacky thanks to the woefully undersized bleh wheels, tacky spoiler and gaudy skirts. Uncool.

I'd love one some day though, especially a Varietta.

 

[Cano]

Mad tyte JDM yo!

SU.

This.

 

[Murcie_LP640]

The main picture in the OP doesn't do it any favours what with the Speedy cheap-🤬 wheels and bodykit but the standard S15 Silvia is a very good-looking car like in the additional pictures.

It's also very good to drive and is balanced, not tail-happy like many people deduce it may be from the Silvia name.

Not Sub-Zero because the Varietta's proportions with the roof up are odd, and the Spec R Aero is a bit too much factory rice, but very Cool.

 

[Stephan]

A beginner's tool to drifting.

But still give it a cool because drifters like Nobushige Kumakubo, Kazuhiro Tanaka, Yasuyuki Kazama, Masato Kawabata, Ryuji Miki, and Nobuteru Taniguchi really loved drifting the S15.

 

[Dennisch]

Ruined (big word, it isn't very cool to start with) by the crowd of one of the most pointless forms of motorsport.

Uncool.

 

[Zenith]

drifting.

cool

You just divided by zero, dude.

 

[Mr_X]

Gonna go with cool

 

[Cano]

You just divided by zero, dude.

add another beer to the count of what I have to buy you when/if I ever meet you. Dude we're gonna be so freaking drunk.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Can be cool, but aren't when stock. Meh.
