1983 Nissan Micra

On the poster you can see that the car is still under the company name Datsun coming to the world or to Germany. The world has woken up, has realized at the latest after the second oil price crisis in 1997/80 that the resources are limited. Small cars are much more popular than today.

This does not mean that it can not be a bit brisk. Although 40 kW (55 hp) do not promise huge accelerations, but the Micra has, for example, an aluminum engine and is about half as heavy as a today's VW Golf. However, at the time, a 75 kg driver plus a further 15 kg has to be added to the kerb weight.

The first Micra carries the abbreviation 'K10' and represented the very last protrusions of the angular forms. According to the breakdown statistics, it was even a little more reliable than its successor. It was also available with three-stage automatic converter (!) and came 1985 with four doors.

On the half way to the detachment in 1993, there were facelifts in 1986 and 1989, which at least deserved its name in 1989. It then looked a bit rounder, better adapted to the spirit of the time. The small engine was canceled, the large one received a catalyst with lambda control. 01/17
