Nissan Sunny

...is 0.6214 miles. Eh? Nissan Sunny? Another example of a cultural mix up me thinks. Here in Australia, the Nissan Sunny is called Nissan Pulsar, but when I came back the UK for a visit in 1998, we hired a Nissan Almera, which (I think) is the equivalent of our N16 model Pulsar. This topic of 'Nissan Sunny' is a fairly broad one, as there as many different models of Sunny's/Pulsar's. Around the road in Aus, you'll see some early '80's models that ...
...was second hand. Our local Nissan dealer doesn't please me, as when I was getting some repairs done they seemed rude and uncommited. Security is laughable. A steering lock comes standard, and the front drivers door can only be locked with the key, which is good, as it's impossible to lock the keys in the car. The other doors are locked by either key or flicking the button down. It did have an immobiliser on it, but that was removed as I kept kicking ...

Review of Nissan Sunny

The Nissan Sunny is a car which has been absolutely thrashed by the critics and has been given a complete grilling by all kinds of people. I am here to defend it. I own a Sunny and it’s a car which has amazing reliability, is very comfortable and gives a smooth ride. The Production of this car started in 1991 and ended in 1995. The car we own is a 1994 Nissan Sunny Spray 1.4 3 door. We brought it in 1996 at two years old for around seven thousand ...
...like, imagine a 3 door Nissan Almera as the Sunny was replaced by the Almera in 1995. The car is a special edition called “Spray” which I am sure is just above the 1.4 L model because it has an electric sunroof and some other small features stated below. The car has a good fuel economy and is well-built and after owning it 8 years, the car is now 10 years old and it still is enjoyable to travel in. It features lots of space for saying it’s a 3 door, ...

Review of Nissan Sunny

...I bought a 1991 1.4LS Nissan Sunny for £200 with 11 months MOT. It was a red three door hatchback. I estimated that I would be delighted if the car lasted 6 months. Bearing in mind Jeremy's views, I began ownership with some trepidation and low expectations. I have to report it was a most positive experience owning this car. Yes it looks as dull as dishwater with it’s eighties angles and uninspiring design and yes it doesn't come with a lot of ...
...Nissan’s? My wife owns a Nissan Micra and its gearchange is equally good. Like the proverbial hot knife through butter. Image: None, the only thing to be said in its defence is the paintwork. Ordinarily, red paint is dreadful as it ages usually fading badly. The paint on this car was as shiny as a new car. Electrics: The Achilles heel on this car. Sometimes the digital clock would display sometimes it wouldn't. Sometimes the passenger electric window ...

Review of Nissan Sunny

...had a F Reg 1998 Nissan Sunny Coupe 1.6 GSX Petrol for 156000 miles across 7 years. This fantastic car needed not a single top up of oil or water for the WHOLE 7 years. Yes, I do mean no leaks AT ALL. The block went rusty because of the non-oil leak protection, as only seen on classics according to the garage who very regularly serviced my car. Regular (6000 mile oil & filter changes) preventative maintenance kept this little rocket on course with ...
...for rust, this is a Nissan after all. Not the wheel arches or sills - above the windscreen where the sweep of the bonnet throws all the stones. This isn't just reminiscing, I p-ex'd mine against an Alfa 145 and regretted it for the next three years. A great car. £5k when I bought it - £5k for 7 years, 100% starts, 120+ mph & 45 mpg. They don't make them like this anymore. What a shame. Don't waste your money on a 2nd hand anything untill you've ...

Review of Nissan Sunny

Sorry Antkeays, but have you ever driven a Sunny? What is this opinion based on? You don't tell us which variant of what age you are commenting on, there were at least three completely different models carrying the Sunny badge, the last two (from mid 80's to mid 90's) were exceptionaly good cars. They certainly did not come with a 1 litre engine, 1.3 litres was the smallest, and stunningly reliable it was too. If you are going to write opinions do ...

Review of Nissan Sunny

...to the defence of The Nissan Sunny. Forgive me for sounding sentimental, I assure you it's in good taste. My first ever car was a 15yr old Nissan Sunny 1.4. No GTi, nothing special. Naturally I was weary, it was a 15yr old Sunny (I had foolishly listened to the bloke down the pub) but believe me when I say that niggling voice was soon crushed. The Sunny quickly became my faithful companion, escorting me on many a difficult trip. What impressed me ...
...reliability, despite raging critics. The Nissan Sunny is one of the best cars you can have to just drive around in, it feels like home, they are so full of character you WILL feel the need to name it, you will apologise to him/her whenever you scrap or bash it, you will talk to it, you will laugh at the unexpected greatness of it, you will turn up your music and sing in it. You will love it. I never had a problem with my electrics, my oil, my engine, ...

Review of Nissan Sunny

...silver blue 1994 m reg nissan sunny tropic (tropic meant it came with a factory fit sunroof) as my first car, this particular car has the 16 valve 1397cc (1.4) engine, which i will admit is fairly pokey, but not that powerful when pushed,. the car drives well enough in the dry, but you really have to drop te pace when it gets wet,. no other reviewers have mentioned this which i find odd, is it just my vehicle? or do you all live in incredibly dry ...
...nothing life theatening, just a bit annoying.. Now, onto the better points of this car, mega mega reliable, always starts first time and never grumbles, expect a little rust around the rear arches, but nothing serious. the gearchange and clutch are light and precise, even the driving position is well thought out, they all in this incarnation have a timing chain instead of a belt which means no expensive belt bills. i know a friend with one that has ...

Review of Nissan Sunny

...have had a earlier standard Nissan Sunny Coupe,about 4 years ago now,which really started the so called ball rolling on these kind of vehicles,but due too the previous owners not caring outlook,let the body rust in a major way,but in saying this,the engine never let me down & gave mega road performance at all times. My present Nissan Sunny is the GSX Coupe,both of the bodyshells are the same,but the GSX gives more performance & the interior is more,lets ...
...door cards & rear seats,power steering as standard with up & down Multi position steering levels,close ratio 5 speed gearbox,well spaced out foot pedals & foot rest,aircraft style dashboard with full bright green illumination throughout,split rear folding seats (Although Not Much Room For Passengers) Large rear glass area,in the tailgate section,so good for reversing. If you are a music lover,remove all standard speakers,as they are totally rubbish ...

Review of Nissan Sunny

...car is an E reg Nissan Sunny and, although fairly old, still looks like new. It has no rust at all and still retains all original parts - other than basic service items. It is easy, fun and economical to drive, with power steering, 4 electric windows and central locking. It gives 50mpg on a run and 35mpg around town. It will easily seat 5 people. It has a large boot, with folding rear seats. The rear window gives excellent visability. It is an excellent ...

Review of Nissan Sunny

Well I have a Nissan sunny g reg and honestly I think it such a good car. Has it ever give me any trouble? NO! This car has never ever given me any trouble. It starts in all weathers. Snow or freezing. Even if the doors locks freeze, if the day is really cold, it still starts. Well on petrol this car is so good. I can drive it around for hours and the petrol will just stay high. It is really cheap to run and maintain. It might rust a little if you ...
...time to service it one could do it himself, so it is that easy and simple. Also it has some luxuries like central locking and electric windows on ls models and higher. On the gsx model u get electric windows, central locking, air conditioning, power steering and much more. well ther the sunny is a good car. maybe noi the best of lucking and maybe not the newest car but it is value for money. ...

Review of Nissan Sunny

...i admit that the average Nissan Sunny is never going to set pulses racing it's not as bad as portrayed by 'Antkeay'. It doesn't have a 1 litre engine, Antkeay, it varies from 1.3 litre upwards. The GTiR can accelerate fron 0 to 60 in 5.5 seconds- i wouldn't call that boring, would you? Nissans have excellent reliability. Not the most exciting subject, but it's handy not having to call the AA every 2 seconds on cold mornings. The good thing about ...

Review of Nissan Sunny

I bought my first Nissan some 4 years ago, a Nissan Sunny Chic 1.4 after working on them for over 6 years. I had a log of all the Nissans I had worked on with a list of faults, needless to say the Sunny beat Micra and Primera the other vehicles in my price range hands down. In four years of trouble free motoring I have bought a set of brake pads, rear exhaust, battery and 2 bulbs! Not bad going for a bad vehicle eh Antkeays? By the way in all my ...

Review of Nissan Sunny

...has a measly 1-litre engine. Nissan had the cheek to call this car a “Sunny”. It should have been called the Nissan Drizzle, Nissan Spam, Nissan Poor, Nissan Pathetic, Nissan Horrid, Nissan Wank. If this car were a person it would be a librarian who comes home by 8.00pm, drinks half’s of lager and is a vegetarian. Its simply Boring! I hate this car. I would rather walk than drive this pile of junk. ...
