1990 Nissan Bluebird LX review from UK and Ireland
"A very smooth ride and lots of equipment for under 1000 pounds"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car came with a corroded sunroof which seems to leak.
The driver's door side leaks when it rains.
When the engine is cold, the ride is very jerky and when you stop to turn junctions when it is in this condition, it is prone to stall.
General comments?
Despite the minor faults listed, the car is actualy very pleasant to drive.
The interior is in pristine condition, which is a good thing considering I purshased the car for 700 pounds.
The car is very sturdy, and strong. The exterior build quality is very high, however this makes the car very heavy.
The 1.6 litre engine is adequate for this car, however it doesn't pack any serious power, but it carries out it's function flawlessly, providing that you warm it up before you drive it in cold weather.
When I obtained this car, the sunroof was serverley corroded, in which caused water to leak into the cabin, but the unit works faultlessly in summer.
The car is very comfortable at any speed, and the handling is very responsive. It can corner at very high speeds if you wish it to.
If you are wishing to go out to work on a cold morning, you have to be sure to warm the engine up before you drive, otherwise the engine wll jerk around, and won't perform in a manner so that you are comfortable.
