      These are so rare I can see why he wants to save them. Even back in the day there weren't many on the road. It was like seeing a Lotus Carlton, or Lancia Delta HF Integrale, or Sierra/Escort Cosworth, just without any of the performance of those cars 🙂. You saw them but hardly ever.

    The 1990's were 'peak car' - enough of the necessary safety stuff to feel safe, better reliability that earlier decades, but still fairly analogue. I've just bought a MK1 Puma as a weekend car. Objectively, it's not as good as my two year old electric Corsa, but it is such fun!

    That Nissan 100nx, make sure you pull the boot carpet back and take a look at the suspension struts. They used to crack/rust back in 2005. So definitely worth checking for safety. Yes I am Golders from the 100nx club back in the day!

    As a low key and introverted individual who always prefer to bland in rather than to stand out I really like that car and what you did with it. You've got all the thrills and enjoyment of driving something rarer and with more caractere without lacking originality and joining the obvious community who like/buy anything that everybody else is already licking and buying at insane prices.

Super rare here too, I've recently saved a 1994 Honda Accord Coupe in LX trim myself if I could find a salvageable NX I wouldn't hesistate. You're very right that era of especially Japanese cars were so much easier to work on and live with.

    I bought my first new car in '92 and had it down to the Toyota Paseo, the Nissan NX or the Mazda MX-3 Presidio. I ended up choosing the Mazda MX-3 5spd and loved it until I decided to move from Halifax to Toronto and couldn't bring it with me. These little cars are so much fun.

    Fantastic job. This brings back so many great memories. I owned a 3 year old 1991 model in red, although it didn't have the alloys or boot lip spoiler on your 3 cars. It was a rare sight even in the 90's and always turned heads. When I picked it up from the garage (with the roof off obviously) my partner said I was grinning from ear to ear and never stopped for the 5 years I owned it. Never missed a beat and totally reliable. In the end I only sold it to go full on convertible, but it wasn't as watertight as the 100NX. Don't stash it away in a garage, enjoy it, cars like that are meant to be seen and driven.

I’ve just got it MOT’d and driving it around again brings back so many memories of when I first owned it as well as looks from people as you don’t see too many on the roads nowadays just like the 100NX. Aim is to get the bodywork done next and back to how it looked when I sold it in 1996.

    I worked at Nissan for the launch of the Micra in'92 and at the time the 100NX was rare. Nissan gave certain employees a car and the usual choice was either the Primera eGT or the 200SX. Only one person ordered a 100NX for his wife (I don't think she was a hairdresser). For the Japanese market there was a 2l version which was much hotter, I think a couple were imported on the grey market. Now there would be a project Matt!

We also have a 14 year old Nissan Qasqhai - the car you love to hate, and have owned it from new and maintained it meticulously and it has never caused us a moments problem - 73k on the clock now. So, excuse me for smiling when you referenced Nissan build quality - never thought I'd see the day😉. Hats off to you for saving this one they are all worth it in the end.

    Great subject matter this one especially for those of us who’ve owned 90s vehicles first time around. Your point about cars reaching the bottom of the depreciation curve and therefore not getting repaired/maintained is so true. But people need to ask what the car is worth to them rather than its market value. Maybe a few more will be saved. Well done Matt.

    Well done Matt, great video (and editing). The 90s was a golden era, not only for cars, but life it's self. What a time to have been alive. Thanks for taking me back there for a short time.

    Nice one. Really enjoyed this.
    I loved 80s Nissans. Cherry Turbo, Bluebird Turbo and Silvia were fantastic cars too. Dont think they make cars as good as that now.
