"A Reliable Servant"

Brake Cylinders Replaced
CV Joints Repaired (Still Rattles!)
Windscreen Washer Jets Playing Up
Air Blowers only work on High Setting.
Routine Oil & Filter Changes (A MUST with Micra's)
General comments?
This Car is Probably one of the most reliable small cars ever built,
As long as it is not hammered, the car will always start first turn, and nothing ever seems to go wrong with it!
The only down sides, are the earlier models have no Air bags, power steering or ABS, so please drive it carefully!
The door seals and windscreen seals are useless, so expect your windscreen and side windows to steam up at any sign of rain, and if it does rain all night, expect the passenger footwell to be quite damp.
This is quite common so I am told, by 1993-1996 owners.
Still, despite this, I have had some great motoring out of my car, and it genuinely is really great fun to drive.
If you want an A to B runaround, look no further, its probably the nippiest, and certainly the most reliable of the bunch.
Expect it to gasp for breath at any incline on the motorway, but what do you want from a 1 Liter Engine?
All in All the best value car I have had, been through the MOT several times, and was never Expensive to put right, and the tax and Insurance are low to boot, Magic!
