1985 Nissan Cherry review from UK and Ireland

Got this car from my dad, who had it for about 5 years as a general run around, and gave it to me when I needed a car.

Had it at 30k when he got it, and was constantly running up and down the country in it, put over 120k on it in about 8 years and never once had a single problem with it.

It was very basic inside, but if you're looking for a car that just gets you from A to B, this is perfect.

Sold it to a mate, and he still has it on the road now at about 180k. He had to replace the exhaust, which cost him £25, which he fitted himself.

Rust is quite heavy on the wings, but it's still getting though the MOT OK.

Tires were about £12 each in 2005.

Used to be in the forces and we would use it as a civi car in exercises; was put into ditches and hedges (it was really abused) and had upto 7 people in it at one time.

You won't get any points for the look of the car, but the reliability was amazing.
