1994 Nissan Micra L 1.0 from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Great little bundle of joy
Faults:
I Have experienced no problems. The only things that needed replacing were the bulbs and tires. Even these had a long life.
General Comments:
This car is a great little car. Considering it only has a 1.0 litre engine it is surprisingly swift. I can fly past all cars in it's class thanks to the power of the 16 valves.
Reliability to second to none. This is typical for Japanese cars.
Replacement parts are not as expensive as for other Japanese manufacturers, but are still a bit pricey. Fortunately this car will run and run.
Interior is a bit dull. It is functional, but not very exciting.
Styling of the outside "bubble" shape is not to every bodies satisfaction.
Not a single piece of rust, comparing to other manufactures cars of the same age that have visible rust.
Same battery since new. This is a 8 year old car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

In response to: "However they do not have a lot of room left in the engine compartment for access to parts like the clutch."
I wonder if your car had ABS? The ABS module sits directly over the clutch cable adjuster and it's a real struggle to undo the locknut when the cable gets too tight. The non-ABS car looks easier for access.
