1995 Nissan Micra LX review from UK and Ireland

Fuel pump failed.

Apart from wear and tear items, this car is amazingly reliable.

This is our second household car, but it still gets a lot of use.

It may not look amazing, or be that fast. But as far as reliability goes and running costs go, this is the best car I have ever owned. It has more or less been faultless.

The car has covered 118,000 miles, but drives as good as the day I bought it. It's a real shame that Nissan is now owned by Renault, as I would not touch a newer one with a bargepole.

I have also owned 2 P10 Primera's; these were also amazing cars. The governments scrapage scheme won't make me part with this car, rust will eventually kill it I guess, as it is so reliable.

It is also quite nippy considering it is only a 1.0 litre, and it averages around 49 mpg no matter how I drive it.

If you are not bothered about looks and want cheap reliable motoring, I think that these cars take some beating. When it dies, it will probably be replaced with one of the last of the Almera's (with Nissan not Renault running gear) as I want something bigger. Again, probably a dull car to most, but a gem to those in the know. My Micra is amazing for a 14 year old car.
