1989 Nissan Micra 1.2 LX k-10 review from Portugal
"The car is reliable and cool to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
An year ago the car got a leak in the gas tank.
About a month ago its two lamps died.
General comments?
Very reliable. Very cool to drive. Handles well even on wet roads. Consumption is high, about 7.5 litter per 100 kilometer. Good visibility when parking. I already got five accidents with the car: 3 minor, and 2 medium. It wasn't expensive to repair and it is as good as new.
Acceleration is good, but it's no match for most of the current cars, except in turns.
My model has open-air system, that is really cool with the Portuguese weather.
