Needed a new head gasket, o rings, oil was spitting into the waterways.
New hoses the oil that was spitting into the waterways was also spitting out into the engine bay and was softening the hoses, this used them to split.
New suspension, it was like jelly and caused the tires to wear on the inside edges, they went from brand new to illegal in 5 months.
The sound of the radio through the speakers is awful.
The parcel shelf rattles a lot.
The seats are generally uncomfortable.
It will only have some form of speed when it has been knocked down 2 gears to overtake or you have to thrash the hell out of it to go anywhere.
Do Buy! They are great!
This person is complaining about their 1989 GS model and I have an LS model from the same year which was the cheapest model made. It is a great car, in 112,000 miles it has never let me down and it always starts first time. This person must have just had a bad one, maybe it was abused by the previous owner. As for the person saying it is slow, WHAT?!? My standard 1.0 has done as fast as the speedo will allow, 100+, isn't yours a 1.2?
I'm 18, and have a GS Nissan Micra (1989) as my first car. It's brilliant and never lets me down. It starts up first time every time, and I find it economical and also fun to drive. Plus, it looks smart and gets me where I want to go. I'd recommend it to anyone.
I own a nissan micra LS 3 door, born in 1989, recently started making a funny noise, quite like a train in rhythm, a sort of clicking noise, would be most grateful if any one could help me with this problem, or any other tricks to keep it running smooth. if possible could you e-mail me your comments at nickadams2002@hotmail.com.
