Nissan March 2002
My First Car: A Nissan March That Surprised Me
summarizeEditor's Summary
I recently looked back on my first car, a Nissan March that I owned for a long time. While it wasn't perfect, it turned out to be a tough little car that even survived a minor accident. Of course, like any old car, it had its share of problems, but I was prepared for that. The Nissan March was a good value for money, especially considering its size and maneuverability. However, it's not without its drawbacks – the low ground clearance was a concern for me. I remember driving on rough roads and feeling a bit uneasy, but it wasn't a major issue. The car's fuel efficiency was a major plus for me, with decent gas mileage that helped me save money on fuel costs. I averaged around 25-30 mpg in the city and 35-40 mpg on the highway. The build quality was better than I expected, with solid-feeling buttons and a durable interior. It may not have been the most luxurious car, but it was well-built and stood the test of time. I also loved its compact size, but it was surprisingly spacious inside. The car was a dream to maneuver in tight spaces, making it perfect for city driving. The battery life was longer than I anticipated, which was a nice surprise. I didn't have to replace the battery for a long time, which was a major plus for me. The Nissan March had a certain charm to it that I still miss to this day.
