1989 Nissan Micra collette review from UK and Ireland
"Ideal first little run-a-round"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had to have the carburetta cleaned out because I let it run too low on fuel too often, other than that, nothing at all!
General comments?
It is cheap to maintain, a little petrol goes a long way!
It is quick off the mark, I can beat nearly anyone off a set of traffic lights!
Mine is smooth to drive, can't feel that its on half the time!
One downside is that, although you can get this car to 105mph, it would fall apart if you did it for long! Its very shaky at 86mph, so best to keep at a max of 80mph, or avoid the motorway!
This was an ideal first car, however now I've been driving a while I want a slightly bigger engine, 5 gears and 5 doors!That is the only reason I'm reluctantly getting rid of it, id love another with these features though!
