1993 Nissan Micra LX review from UK and Ireland
"Utterly dependable supermini"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
7 yr old battery finally gave up the ghost.
Erm.... had a puncture, hardly Nissan's fault.
Buy one from a granny and grin with maniacal laughter at the bargain you just got.
General comments?
I will never, ever, ever take the mickey out of Micras ever again. This is a fantastically reliable car. I'm 6'1" and comfy in it. This 1.0 can do an indicated 100mph!! (maybe optimistic).
Nippy round town and easy to park. Great visibility. Cheap to run.
The only downside? Not a motorway hack. A roads are fine - M roads, well, it is only a supermini. Can't have everything.
