This car here in México was called Tsuru and was in production up until 2017, it was and still is in some places here, the work horse of many people who used it as taxis, corporate cars and even like pick up trucks (they cut the roof on the back and made a bed to put small to medium size things) at the end of it’s production it had a 1.6 engine and a 4 speed manual transmission, manual locks, mirrors and window, A/C and a radio as an optional extra. The only reason they stop making it is because in 2015 I think, the congress pass a law which required that all new cars sold in Mexican territory, must have at least 2 airbags, ABS and traction control. Today the cheapest car Nissan offers over here is last generation Nissan versa, they just changed the name to V-Drive, lowered the price and there is no longer a automatic transmission option
I live in an area with many folks from El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, etc… I had tons interest from Latinos and your post helps clarify why. Someone drove 5 hours from NC to pick it up in MD. He’s a mechanic so I’m confident he’ll have it on the road for a long time.
@@anthonyschreiberYeah! That’s probably why you had a lot of Latinos interested in that car, they’ve must felt like home when they saw that car, and as I said, this car is very loved and provided cheap transportation for many, this car along with the VW beetle and the Chevrolet “Chevy” (first generation Opel Corsa) were for many their first car or they had some relative who had one or they used them as taxis, but somehow many have been aboard any of this cars at some point in their life’s
I miss my 1994 Altima. If I ever find one for sale and it’s in decent shape I’m buying it. At the moment I have a 1996 Accord DX Sedan with 55,000 so far I’ve only needed to buy an o2 sensor. The Hondas, Nissans, and Toyotas from the 90 were absolute units.
Blew my piston rings on my ‘94 Sentra aka Nina, I needed a daily driver asap and sold it , I miss Nina dearly, I should’ve just swapped the engine at the time
Yes yes yes!!!! BEFORE Ghosn fucked it all up. These are the cool little, fuel efficient 2-door sedans we need back in the world. Same with Toyota, it needs to re-do small cars like Tercel
I had a Toyota Echo fall into my lap one time and it turned me into a huge fan of those, including others on the same platform like Yaris, Scion XA and first gen Scion Xb

@@pinkpanther4291 hindsight is always 20-20. When we’re young and broke we don’t know any better and have to do what makes sense in that moment.
I just helped an older guy rehome his wife’s 2001 Altima, only had 50 something thousand miles on it. I think I put up a video of it.
days when cars used to be actual cars
I was with you until you dissed UAB😂 what'd we ever do?
@@nathanm8242 University of Alabama-Birmingham? Is that the UAB? I’m not sure what I said.
Same badge, but not the same "Tradition"!, haha.
I had a Sentra SE-r from this generation. I wish I had hung on to that one.

@@anthonyschreiber Yeah!!! The 90s !!!
I remember these old Sentras! I had a delivery job with an '84 Sentra 4 speed that had 240,000 miles, very dependable 🧡
