1995 Nissan Micra LX 1.3 from UK and Ireland
Faults:
Nothing.
General Comments:
Performance is better than manufacturers figures suggest. Can beat a BMW 316i away from the lights. It's a bit iffy on corners, but this could be sorted with better tyres/suspension.
Like all Jap cars, it needs to be revved quite hard.
A great car to drive around town and more comfortable than expected at 70/80 mph... very quiet and powerful for a little car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I think perhaps you are driving the wrong car. If you find it necessary to thrash your Micra to the extent that you are "eating" tyres and suffering excessive body roll, then why not buy a car that was designed to put up with that. Micras are designed to be cheap convenient runabouts, a job which they perform perfectly, but they're not sports cars by any stretch of the imagination.
