1989 Nissan Micra DX review from North America
"Love the little guy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Battery died! no big deal.
Engine was rattly tightened rocker arms.010" int.012" exh also no big deal.
The clutch is starting to slip, but my girl friend did learn 5 speed on it plus a new one cost me 120 bucks through napa.
This is a good car and its very easy to fix things on even big things are easy.
General comments?
The car is cheap to run. easy to drive and isn't as pokey as most econo boxes.
The car unfortunately isn't much fun on british columbia highways.
Also because its is light it slides in snow easily.
