1989 Nissan Micra GS review from UK and Ireland

"Do not Buy, they are awful"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Needed a new head gasket, o rings, oil was spitting into the waterways.

New hoses the oil that was spitting into the waterways was also spitting out into the engine bay and was softening the hoses, this used them to split.

New suspension, it was like jelly and caused the tires to wear on the inside edges, they went from brand new to illegal in 5 months.

General comments?

The sound of the radio through the speakers is awful.

The parcel shelf rattles a lot.

The seats are generally uncomfortable.

It will only have some form of speed when it has been knocked down 2 gears to overtake or you have to thrash the hell out of it to go anywhere.
