Nissan Sunny Hatchback 1986-
  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Only cost me £370 to buy. Not bad for a rust-free 1.4-litre car! Engine won't cost a fortune to maintain, as it has a timing chain instead of a cambelt!

    Costs

    Bits are cheap as they're standard Nissan parts and hasn't needed anything done other than servicing, which I've done myself. Is very economical and runs on standard unleaded.

    Well, it goes from A to B. Not all that exciting and the lack of power steering isn't nice.

    Performance

    It's only a 1.4 carb engine, but it goes when it needs to!

    Reliability

    Never a problem, other than engine cutting out in traffic jams in very warm weather.

    Oh dear. Well it's square and white, much like a fridge.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Fairly comfy. No air con or anything like that, but seats are nice and soft.

  • Security and Service

    Nothing as standard. Have fitted an immobiliser and a crook-lock!

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Not needed to visit a Nissan garage as all servicing is DIY-friendly.
