Faults:

Well almost nothing except for the inline fuel filter and trunk dampers, and sometimes it eats antifreeze (about 200ml in 600km), but nothing serious.

General Comments:

I'm happy to have this car, because I'm a student, and I don't have much money for fuel, and this car gives me about 1300 km on a full tank; that's about 5.5l on 100km.

It's a bit noisy on high speeds, and the suspension is not very soft, but I'm young and that's not bad.

Faults:

Hmmmm, nothing so far!

General Comments:

This car is the most reliable car ever. You cannot get a better car of the same value.

The engine is smooth, and the gear box is just perfect.

The only problem it has is the steering. It's not a power steering car, so while parking and performing three point turns, you can face difficulties.

Faults:

No faults.

General Comments:

I purchased the car from a friend, and when I purchased it, there was very minor accident damage. I had the parts for nothing from his brother who owns a Nissan workshop. Two back shocks were also needed, and a spare wheel.

The performance is great, but is a little gutless at lower revs. Fuel consumption is fantastic, returning up to 46 MPG at motorway speeds. The only work that was needed for the annual MOT, was to change a tyre on the rear that was worn on the inner edge, due to a worn shock.

The engine is leak free and is totally reliable, and has never given any trouble to date.

The boot could do with being a bit bigger, but is OK when the split folding rear seats are put down.

The only let down with the car are the price of dealer parts, but overall it never seems to need fixing on a regular basis, so it's a cheap car to run. I particularly like the 9000 mile oil change, but it is recommended to use high quality semi synthetic 10w/30 or 40 oil.

Faults:

The clutch has gone several times.

The head gasket had to be replaced at 80,000 miles.

Jumped out of fifth gear.

Both drive shafts went after a night of wheel spinning.

Electric windows have stopped twice.

General Comments:

I was highly disappointed with the performance. My previous car which was a KIA pride went just as well. When you see a 205 G.T.I. come up behind just pull over even if it's a 1.6. Also beware of metro's, they are probably faster. All though this car is nothing performance wise it is quite reliable. Nissan really do let down the Japanese.

If your looking for a family car it's great, otherwise don't buy it.
