Nissan Micra 1.0i 16v S 3dr

Overview The Nissan Micra is a Japanese Super Mini first introduced in 1982. Since 1992 the car has also been produced in the UK. Known within Asia as the Nissan March, this is one of the manufacturer's most popular models. I will be focusing on the 1 litre model produced between 1993 -2002, I do not own this vehicle but have had significant experience driving one owned by my Grandmother as well as using one for a large portion of learning to drive.

Whilst only being 24 I have had numerous cars to date, including an Astra, a Peugeot 405 Estate, a Peugeot 106 and finally a Nissan Micra. The initial reason for looking at a Micra was more about the insurance, than the actual car itself - I had my previous car stolen, and being young insurance companies tend to hold these things against you (despite me nothing wrong!).

With too many people in our family to fit in our Mondeo it was time to look for something else. After looking around we decided to buy a Nissan Micra! Are you mad? I hear you say! Well no it was time to go from being a one-car family to a two-car family. So why the Micra it is a bit small for many people? 1) The Micra is a big small car. The Micra is my husband’s car. It is a small car but he can sit in it quite comfortably even though he has very long legs. When his seat is fully back he can manage to drive a long distant in it comfortably. 2) The Micra is an economical car to drive. When driving on motorways the ...  Read the complete review
