1986 Nissan Sentra 5 door Sprint 1.3 GL
Summary:
A great runner, will last for years!
Faults:
The two front head lights blew while travelling on the dual-carriageway at night. due to the previous owner putting the wrong bulbs in. had to replace whole units.
Brakes failed going through a round-about.Only happened once... thank god!
3 windows will not wind down- due to lack of usage.
Leak in radiator- can't be bothered fixing.
Automatic choke is broken... have to press pedal to start.
General Comments:
This car is actually the best car I have ever owned. Even though it is like steering a 52 seater bus because there is no power steering it sticks to the road.
I bought the car for 250euros and it flew the NCT after lying up for nearly 2 years.
Not very good at going up hills and the engine screams over 65MPH, but it would run on the smell of petrol.
NO back seat belts, or fog lamps, 1 music speaker, but its everything you want in a car.
Parts are impossible to find and expensive to buy... so look after your car and it'll be a great friend.
Smokes more than a house on fire, but its fun watching pedestrians coughing and spluttering when driving through a town.
Very fast take off when you push it... but its not made for that..just cruise. for a car that's near 21 years on the road its fantastic!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
