1994 Nissan Avenir LX Cargo review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car was sweet mechanically. It never failed to start, apart from the time when the starter motor failed. I couldn't afford to get it repaired for three months and I became an expert at push starting it.
The front shock absorbers failed, which made for bouncy cornering. We nicknamed it the waterbed because it wallowed like one.
General comments?
The little CD20 diesel was sweet. It chugged away quite happily for all the time that I owned it. It wasn't fast, but it was reliable.
