I am the lucky owner of a new style 1.4 S automatic Xreg Micra, this replaces my 1.3 SLX Mreg auto which was also bought new and for which I was offered an excellent trade in value. My main interests in a car are legroom and economy for stress free town driving and longer distance pleasure trips. This car exceeds all expectations and is highly recommended. It is worth pointing out the improvements and changes. Impressive additional power with the small increase in engine size makes the car surprisingly nippy. One downside is that this automatic car creeps in neutral like a traditional automatic whereas the older car with the same ...  Read the complete review

The model I own is a 1.0l Micra S 3 door 02 plate. It was purchased in Derby, about 30 miles from my home, in February 2009 at a price of £2500, and a mileage of about 18 or 19 thousand miles, I had a hundred quid knocked off for my Ford Fiesta SI 1.6 which I paid £250 for and did me just over 2 years of motoring. About me as a driver= I am mid twenties with no children yet, just me and my OH to think about, mostly city driving with the occasional long motorway jaunt. Why I changed cars= I had lost faith in the reliabilty of my Fiesta SI, I had to have the AA out at least 4 or 5 times, funny noises, lots of work each MOT, a month before ...  Read the complete review

~ ~ This little car comes in for quite a bit of stick from various sources for being both staid and dated, but Nissan can afford to laugh all the way to the bank, as it has been a best seller for them in all its various guises and models for more years than I care to remember. One of the main reasons I believe this to be the case is that Nissan as a manufacturer are never content to sit on their laurels, and constantly strive (in common with all the Japanese car manufacturers) to improve their cars. ~ ~ The most recent version of this very popular little hatchback sees it getting a fairly drastic facelift in the styling stakes, that allows it to still hold ...  Read the complete review

My review is on the N reg Nissan Micra SLX. I bought this car about 18 months ago as a starter car when I was learning to drive. It has a 1.3L engine and is a 5 door hatchback so it is a little bigger and more powerful than most Micras. It comes in a lovely emerald green colour so it's quite different to the boring mix of silver and black that you seem to find so much nowadays. For a car that is 13 years old it is in really good condition - it scrubs up really well and if you didn't know the model you could mistake it for a much younger car. It is getting on a bit now but still drives quite well. I had lessons in both this car and a ...  Read the complete review

I have travelled many thousands of miles in this car and I have never experienced a moments trouble. It has never failed to start no matter how cold and wet it has gotten (and it has been frozen on many occasions). The driving experience is cheery - even now it makes me smile to get behind the wheel. In someways it is more like driving a go kart than a car - the turning circle is like a black cab. Of course a car of this size is better suited to city driving as its so agile, but I've mainly used it for motorways. Acceleration is nothing special but then you don't buy a 1.2 litre Micra for thrills. It is comfortable on long journeys. Seat gives good support and the ride ..  Read the complete review
