Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Got a good deal for £4,800 with mileage at 35k.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Handles very well and its poise and grip gives the driver confidence in all road conditions.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Engine very willing and has suprising mid-range punch, even though SRi has no performance advantage over standard 1.6.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    100% reliability to date - feels like it will go on forever.

    I think that the front and rear spoilers, alloys and fog lamps really lift what otherwise is a dull design.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    The SRi has the advantage of firmer sports seats, which I much prefer. Can only just get a decent driving position - anyone over 6ft might struggle.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Could do with alarm and upgraded immobiliser.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    I will not use my local Nissan dealer for servicing again. There were clear signs of a rush job; coolant not topped up, part missing off fog lamp and glove box contents left scattered on seat - appalling.
