1985 Nissan Sunny SGL review from UK and Ireland
"Reliable and comfortable - if you can find a low-ish mileage model for a decent price, buy it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tracking tended to be a bit unstable.
General comments?
I had this car for 11 years and I wish I could have kept it for another 11. It always started and gave me very few problems except for the aforementioned tracking. The boot space was a bit small and a sun-roof would have been nice but these are only very minor gripes. The bodywork held up very well considering that it was never stored in a garage overnight. I sold the car to my brother-in-law who ran the car for another year before it was written off by a wayward lorry on the M60 :( He reckons the solid build of the Sunny saved his life though...
A work colleague actually bought a Sunny 1.5SGL Maxima the same day as I bought mine and his is still going strong, albeit with a lot lower mileage on the clock.
