1987 Nissan Prairie 1.5 gasoline

Summary:

Space and economy

Faults:

Parking brake.

Got jammed when used uphill. I had to lift it and hammer it out of the jam. The wire had developed a hook, but it got straightened out with some grease and frequent usage.

General Comments:

Spacious and practical.

Goes at least 150 km on 10l of gas.

Very handicapped and rheumatic friendly.

Take out the back seat and you can practically move your home with it.

Expensive spare parts, and used parts are hard to come by. But then again, there is not much that can break on this simple and slim van-like station wagon.

The slide-doors are very useful, but can collect ice in freezing conditions, which makes them hard to open.

The door locks need frequent greasing during winter.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
