1993 Nissan Micra LX review from UK and Ireland
"Thrash-happy hatchback"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing. Not a thing.
General comments?
The 1.3 is a fantastic rev-happy engine, easily capable of keeping up with most other manufacturer's 1.4L models. This car took regular 300 mile trips to see the in-laws in its stride, cruising at 90-95mph all the way. Totally reliable in the time we had it.
The interior is a good place to be, with decent design and good quality plastics. It could have done with a rev counter - although the way we thrashed it, it was probably better not to know how far beyond the red-line it had gone... It could also have done with power steering.
Compared to Novas, Fiestas, Swifts or Metros of the same age, it was light years ahead in all respects.
My wife cried when we sold it. Aaaah.
