Faults:

Almost nothing went wrong, just a heater fan.

Occasional cutting out caused by the engine ECU plug under the passenger seat. A very common problem on these cars, that's how I bought it as a non runner. Tried the plug, hey presto!

General Comments:

Absolutely bonkers acceleration, hold your breath & pray in the corners, the handling was somewhat erratic. De-badge one, put on a grandad hat & burn up just about everything at the lights. The most entertaining car I've ever had.

Would love another, rare in the UK when new, tin worm means they're as rare as hen's teeth now.

Faults:

Nothing yet.

General Comments:

Got it for £50 from a breakers yard, tatty front arches and valance.

Starts everytime, everything works, minimal internal rust, brakes fine, original wipers still on car, but the best thing is the fuel economy. I have never had an old car which does 380 miles to the tank, I ran the tank dry to clear the crap out and to see how many miles I could get out of it. I've only been driving round town, so not very economically driven. It seems my car refuses to run out, it takes ages to run out.

Faults:

Well... the shock absorbers were pretty messed up when I first got it, but I've purchased a set of new ones...

Nothing else has gone wrong... It's a reliable, fun, and fast car ;)

General Comments:

This car is fun! It's my first car, and I'm only seventeen... I hope this car lasts for a long time!

Buy one, if you find one!

Faults:

Nothing really, the only real fault with the car was the starter motor pinion wearing out, but that was no problem.

Another thing that has gone wrong is that the bodywork has corroded under the arches, but hey, I ain't complaining.

General Comments:

A highly recommended car, I have owned everything from a BMW to a Rover, but I always find myself affiliated to the Nissan Cherry.

I have owned three in total, a 3 door GS, a 5 door GL and a 5 door GSL. I hope to own a turbo in the future, but they are getting scarcer by the day.

My 3 door has been parked up for about eighteen months now, it's going through a restoration process. Long live the Cherry!

Faults:

Absolutely nothing, this car has never let me down in the six years that I have owned it.

At 17 years old the bodywork has suddenly started to corrode, but who can complain about that.

Everyone who rides in it comments on how smooth and quiet the engine sounds, and what it has cost me in not being a particularly economical car fuel wise, I've saved on repair bills. Never had a bill other than MOT and servicing, who can ask for anything else in a car, I'm sure the engine would last forever but the bodywork is going fast so it's time to say goodbye to this Nissan and hopefully hello to another that lasts as long.

Faults:

In the space of time I have had the car the pistons have gone and the turbo has packed in. Fifth gear on the gear box went, the starter packed up plus many other faults.

Despite these faults which have all been rectified as and when they occur, the car still drives like new.

General Comments:

This car is hugely underrated in all respects, it is faster than anything in its class. It handles like a dream, and apart from wear and tear the car is hugely reliable now.

I can't see my self ever selling my car as it is in good condition and I think it is worth restoring!!
