1990 Nissan Sunny LS review from UK and Ireland
"Top notch and value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car is faultless!
It is always a first time starter and for its engine size immensely quick. The high revving engine makes neat work of rivals (even newer and larger engined cars). The G reg sunny has a 1.4 12 valve engine, I noticed it was very rare for any other manufacturers to make their cars anything more than 8V. Compared to any ford of the same era, the sunny outsrips the competition like for like. I have taken a 1.6 fiesta and beaten him hands down in acceleration, overall torque and maximum speed. Astonishing!
The engine also sounds so smooth and ticks over effortlessly. My last car being a rattly 1.1 Fiesta I could instantly tell the difference when I got into my new sunny. Now I know the Sunny looks like a box on wheels, that aside, inside is so spacious and comfortable that I cold almost be driving a Bentley! (well not quite!).
The Sunny did come to me rusty, but only on the doors so no problems for the next MOT. I believe these models to be high on rust, but if you look after them this shouldn't be a problem. If this is the 1.4, I can only imagine what the 2 litre GT will be like! Mechanically you can't put it to fault, the car does what it is meant to do; drive and stop whithout incident. It may look boring, but believe me the performance alone (for the price very cheap now) compensates for that. Highly recommend any Nissan.
General comments?
OK the cars can be a little high on rust.
It is so quick I can even feel slight G force exertion in my 1.4 if it is pushed very hard!
Ultra reliable rice burner!
It does look a liitle cubic however! But this is no problem for me.
