They are perfectly nice motors, when they get thin on the ground people would like them more.
Was there ever a hot version?

I'm not sure. The primera had for nissan but i think the best bet for this would be the 3sge engine if so inclined. I'm averaging high 30s mpg and its quick enough for me!

We used to have them as pool cars at work. They were the perfect tool for driving 400 miles on a day. Primeras drove better though.

Apart from a micra ive not owned any other Japanese motors so ive no basis for comparison! It doesnt look great nor the best handling car ive had but it just does what it needs to with no complaints!

I had one a couple of years ago bought blind off eBay for pennies. Was indestructable and covered 10000 miles odd with absolutely no servicing at all (does putting air in the tyres count?).
I often had naughty thoughts about slamming the thing and putting silly big Lexus rims on, but never did. I scrapped it when it needed an exhaust and whilst I didn't love it, I did really respect it. Modified versions online seem to be of the "Halfords Ripspeed lick n stick" persuasion, which is a shame.
"Everything has potential"® though, so give it a go and see what you can do!

Its rough round edges,a few dents and scratches too. Laid back and lazy but can pick its skirt up if provoked. Quite a bit like me except i don't wear skirts too often. Id like to lower it a bit and have a bit of a bass note on the exhaust. Trouble is with me ive a had habit of matt blacking wheels and silly things when a car already looks a bit ratty.
