1992 Nissan 100NX review from UK and Ireland
"A sheep in wolf's clothing, but fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
More niggly things in general than anything significant.
Central locking is a bit temperamental from time to time so it pays to check both doors have locked when you think they have...
An annoying slow leak of air from the offside front tyre. Had the wheel & tyre checked and the valve replaced but still it deflates.
Rear wiper needs sorting out. And of course, there's the acceleration lag which seems to be characteristic of the 100NX.
Still, on the plus side, the air circulation switch works just fine, & the parcel shelf hinges are still attached!
General comments?
Economy isn't as good as the figures would lead you to believe. It's a bit of a sheep in wolf's clothing, but goes quite well for a 1.6 - and it does look good, topless or not! Whenever the sun hints at shining, I whip off the roof & then I can forgive it most of its foibles.
