1993 Nissan Micra LX review from UK and Ireland
"Don't laugh - Micras are great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The clutch finally wore out at about 50-55,000 miles.
I replaced the battery and brake pads before they really needed it.
The car has developed a slight leak from the base of the windscreen on the passenger side - nothing a bit of sealant won't fix.
General comments?
I've had this car since I was eighteen. It saw me through university. It's had numerous thrashings over the Pennines. And it still keeps going.
I learned to drive in the thing which is probably why I've had to replace the clutch. It's a great little car which should keep going for years.
I've marked it down on comfort, simply because 1- it's a bit small, and 2- when I'm driving it my knee rests against the window winder which makes it a bit uncomfy.
I've marked it down on performance because it can't really compete with a lot of the other cars out there, but for a 1-litre car it goes really well.
I'm now thinking about replacing the car, but only because I want something a bit more powerful - and I've owned it for 5 years anyway.
