1988 Nissan Micra review from North America
"A fine car, I wish the new ones were available in Canada"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Aside from normal wear and tear, the only real problem was a sheared off bolt on my rocker arm. I managed to limp into a service station on 3 cylinders.
General comments?
Lots of head room for a small car.
Lots of leg room for a small car.
Easy to park.
Car has worn well considering the abuse heaped on it.
Even at 205,000 km, it can easily handle a 1000km round trip at 100-110km/h.
Amazing mileage, particularly considering it's age (about 5.9L/100km or 49mpg!)
Wish I had a 5 spd instead of an automatic.
Lots of cargo room.
