1990 Nissan Sunny ZX review from UK and Ireland
"Wolf in sheep's clothing?? - it certainly is!! :)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing, although I bought it with a broken window motor and the fuel and temp. gauges weren't working - although this is a common problem.
The only problem I had was I got too mechanical and managed to bust the air flow meter, which then cost me 500 quid.... although this was entirely my own fault.... Doh!!
General comments?
This car has been amazingly reliable, discreet and yet really punches with power. It is so unknown, your average RS Turbo racer won't believe what he's seeing when a Sunny beats him at the lights.
The ZX 3 door hatch is everything I wanted my old sunny 1.6GS to be in looks, sound and speed. It revs forever and has a V-tec like pickup at 4000rpm, it makes you want to drive it all day everyday. Believe me when I say this car is a hot hatch dream.
It's a shame there aren't more performance parts for it, but there's plenty you can do. The ZX was only made for one year and they are rarer than you can imagine in hatch form, but buy a well looked after example and you'll be grinning as hard as I have been for the last year - I don't ever want to get rid of this car... I only wish I'd had it from new :)
