1995 Nissan Sunny Sequel review from UK and Ireland

New alternator at 40k.

Got the car as a cheap run around in 2003, paid £1400 for it, but it only had 30k on the clock and was in pristine condition bar a couple of stone chips in the bonnet.

Had a full service history as my father was the mechanic that worked on the car since it was new.

Inside was OK, but found that you would get general rattles from the head rests or centre console from time to time.

Electric windows would also have trouble going up if the window was dry, but a bit of WD40 on the rubber seal sorted that out.

For a 1.4 engine it was quite thirsty. £40 would get you about 300 miles.

Acceleration was quite good for over taking, but past 80mph it started to feel a bit light and twitchy. However a great car for what it is, and only ever had to replace the alternator, which happens doesn't it.

Have given the car to my mum now, and she really likes it, and is able to get her two collie dogs in the boot with ease. Live in Cornwall where the roads are constantly flooded or covered in mud, and this car just keeps going. The car is on about 71k now, and there's just the slight onset of rust on the rear arches, which is good living so close to the sea, and driving the car on the beach everyday with the dogs.

If I was looking for another car and saw a Sunny in good condition, I would get it, but would really have a good look over the car as I have seen some real dogs around.
