General Comments:
I'm quite impressed with this car.
I got it for almost nothing and have been very lucky sourcing cheap or used parts.
Nissan main dealer prices are just a joke. Avoid them.
Not particularly economical, but extremely high comfort level.
Common faults include steering rack problems, cracked blocks/heads and suspension faults and rust, rust, rust.
Easy to work on.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
