Hi!
Long time, no see. I still have the Nubira. I haven't spent any money on it in the last year, it worked perfectly. After a year I had to take it to my mechanic because the bowel of the aftermarket catalytic converter disintegrated entirely after two years. I bought a new one with higher brand name, maybe it will last longer. The flexible pipe was also replaced because it was broken. Luckily these fixes weren't expansive at all.
I don't remember we had so much Sahara dust rain in the past, now we get one every couple of months...
Of course the queu at the car washes after a rain like this is huge, so I couldn't wash her sadly today. Poor thing looks like it's abandoned.
Anyway, that's it for now, she really didn't have any problems for a long time, and I started to use the Citroen more. Funny enough the Nubira tolerates the incredibly shit quality of road surfaces (like cracks, potholes, etc) better than the Citroen which has hydropneumatic suspension. On the highway the Citroen is a dream, but in the city with disastrous roads the Nubira's suspension works better.
