1992 Nissan Micra L review from UK and Ireland
"A tough, reliable, powerful car that gets good mileage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Has never failed on me.
Exaust rusted through.
Side + rear plate lights blew.
Distributer and cables replaced.
I get the oil changed every 3000 miles as it greatly reduces engine ware.
Make sure to change your air filter often, it will improve mileage + performance.
I regularly service the car to prevent breakdowns.
General comments?
Well I got to say this is one rugged beast of a car. I've driven that thing into the ground and it still keeps going. I've used the car for high speed off road rally use and it handles really well. I rev the guts out of that thing, I've bolted my own rev counter on the dash and revved it way beyond 8000RPM. I'd recommend getting a K&N Induction kit as it's greatly improved my mileage and performance - plus it sounds amazing.
I do hate the steering wheel I have to say. It really gets in the way it's so big. The radio it came with I tore out and replace it with a pioneer and a X plod sub in the boot. Now I got no boot space.
