1994 Nissan Sunny LX 1.4 petrol from UK and Ireland

Summary:

A cheap, reliable car that loves hard driving

Faults:

"New" Starter & "new" Alternator at about 110,000 miles.

Drivers Door Handle on inside fell off.

General Comments:

It can accelerate hard for a 1.4, especially when the revs come up & you know that you can red-line it without fear with the indestructible engine.

Heavy on fuel.

Nice driving position with multi-adjustable seat, steering is a touch light, pedals are spaced & balanced perfectly. No room in the back seat, but the boot is big.

Looks boring, but drives brillant.

1994 Nissan Sunny SR 1.6 from UK and Ireland

Summary:

A very sporty looking, nippy 1.6

Faults:

Passenger side automatic window went slow going up, but it's now sorted... Other than that, no major problems.

General Comments:

Theres not much bad that can be said about the Nissan Sunny 1.6 SR, below are the few good points which I have come across during the 3 months I've had it;

Very reliable car.

Tremendous road handling.

Beautiful sporty looking car.

Powerful for what it actually is.

Cheap to run.

Nice bucketed seats, comfortable seating.

Many modifications can be done to make it look like a proper beast.

However, the boot space isn't very big, although it is OK.

1994 Nissan Sunny SLX 1.4 from Portugal

Summary:

An easy car with a good engine

Faults:

The clutch is very poor and had to be changed 3 times in 8 years.

The chassis is very heavy at front.

The gearbox is too long.

The brakes are not very reliable.

General Comments:

Great!The 1.4 Sunny is a great car. Its 87 hp are a little bit weak, as they only start working at 6000 RPM.

The under-steering of the car is easily compensated with the help of the handbrake.

Brakes as well as the clutch are the weak points of the Sunny, as they are very, very, weak indeed!

Interiors are not the best at market, but are better than the Opel or the Golf.

The gearbox handle is very well positioned, as well as the steering wheel.

A 195/R14' wheels are a very good option to choose. The factory one's 175/R13 are very lousy on sharp curves and wet asphalt.

All those comments seems pretty intelligent and right. my bro has a 94 Sunny SLX with the 1.4 and his clutch is dying these last weeks.

Say, could you provide us with the right setting for the carburetor, 'cauz the car seems to eject not burned fuel. Thx in advance.

1994 Nissan Sunny SLX 1.6i petrol from UK and Ireland

Summary:

Another solid, reliable Nissan!

Faults:

Nothing much. Never let me down.

One of the hydraulic struts on the tailgate disconnects from the ball joint connecting it to the boot itself, but this clips back on. A minor issue. Will get round to replacing eventually.

Gearbox whines a little bit when cold.

General Comments:

A very nice car to drive. Firm suspension so you feel the bumps in the road, but nice handling and light steering.

Good acceleration from the 1.6l, 102BHP engine. Feels like a warm-hatch.

Looks a little dated, but not bad looking at all.

Hardly a mark on this car, it's been well looked after. Much more reliable than my other car, a Vauxhall Cavalier.

1994 Nissan Sunny LX 1.4 from UK and Ireland

Summary:

A super Sunny

Faults:

Left rear window motor.

General Comments:

This is the quickest 5 door car I have ever driven. The cabin is spacious although a little dull. The running costs are high due to front tyre wear from the 150BHP engine.

I find this a very peculiar review... you say this is the fastest 5 door car you've driven, you say it is a 1.4 LX, but yet it has a 150BHP engine and you give it 4 out of 10 for performance.

Just doesn't make sense to me... since the 1.4 sunny is only 85BHP and it's the 2.0 GTI that has approx. 150BHP

The injection pressure has been changed to 150psi, its fast, but I am not sure how long the engine will last.
