1990 Nissan Sunny LX review from UK and Ireland
"Should be called the Nissan 'Bit Drizzly'"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The courtesy light is not working now which means every time I open a door, the digital clock on the dashboard resets itself to 1:00!
The starter motor got progressively more lazy until the car wouldn't start any more. Cost £45 for a new one and 30 minutes on the shop forecourt to change it.
General comments?
Power? What power? You are raving on about the car being quicker than an XR2 but my last car was a turbo diesel escort that was much quicker off the lights and in a straight line. Insurance group is similar too.
As for the handling, feels a little too nervous for my liking and too soft. Nice if you like a bit of comfort, but rubbish at corners. Hit a bump mid-corner and the back end starts to step-out.
Economy is nowhere near the TD Escort either 35mpg if I drive like an old man, but more typically 30mpg. The Escort would manage 45mpg+ even when being thrashed, which I did every day!
