1992 Nissan Micra L review from UK and Ireland
"Simple, like all cars should be"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The coolant pump gasket leaked, pump/timing belt had to be replaced. Rust on the door seal and on the back door. One ball-joint: terrible Irish country roads.
General comments?
Does everything a car can be expected to do. One liter engine, four gears (ok, a fifth would have been welcomed), carburettor - I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened the air filter housing. 5-5.5 l/100 km aka 50-55 mpg. Just matches my ideas of a good car. Five people can travel in it if the destination is near enough, and two could go to the edge of the flat Earth.
A bunch of fox-hunters and their degenerate dogs, or precisely the chaos they caused on a single-digit main road resulted the crash that finished the Micra. Both I and my front seat passenger got out with no injuries, and the car designed in the late seventies bent where it had to bend in order to save our bones from bending. If I find another, I'll buy it. If you find one, don't hesitate.
