1985 Nissan Bluebird TRX series 3 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Cheap economical reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The electronic display on the dash which showed temperature, fuel quantity, volts and oil pressure was slightly suspect, but apart from that the first 5 years (120000km), there was no other problems. Clutch and Starter motor were replaced, at around 130000km.
General comments?
This car was a welcomed change from my Sud. Very reliable, economical and cheap to maintain. This was the type of car which you could jump in and drive all day. Sporty interior, great stereo with joy stick control to adjust the balance, alloy wheels and four wheel disk brakes. Great car to drive. The only two areas which I think needed improving, was the boot was too small and back seat was tight. I was so happy with the brand I recently bought a brand new Xtrail.
