As said they are based on Micras however the engine is turbocharged, so make sure you have a nice service history for the car. You might find some items might have to be ordered from specialists and are not available from Nissan dealers.
They are all imports so the date of manufacture might be different to the date of registration but this is normal.
Hoods are made well and last a long while but ,as they are white, discolour easily. Find a nice looked after one with no rips. Check boot for signs of leaking .
They were one of the first cars to have CD players fitted, if the car still has the original unit (its tailored to the dash and made of the same materials) check its working they don't have a good reliability record.
Originally they were only available in 4 colours: Topaz Mist (beige), Emerald Green(pale apple green), Pale Aqua (duck egg blue) and Lapis Grey (pale grey). Any other colour and the car has been resprayed, check a good job has been done.
Hardly any of them have alloys fitted, but have the tailored White wheel trims and they dont look good without them.
Find a nice example and they are wonderful cars, always a talking point and make a nice change from the mundane shapes of most modern cars.
