Nissan Micra S in general Reviews

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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

I?m not sure where to start this review so I?ll start at the beginning. It?s July 2000 and I need a car, the loan is sorted (with the Co-operative Bank) and I?ve spent the last two afternoons walking round car lots in Ipswich and I?m getting nowhere fast. Lex Autosales (no longer selling cars) are next on the list of places to visit. On ...  Read the complete review

When my Suzuki is serviced, I find the best place to take it is my local independant garage as they supply me with a loan car. Ok, its not going to break any land speed records but neither is my Vitara. So what im presented with is a nice new Nissan Micra 1.3. Only 700 miles on the clock and ready for some abuse. On looking at the Micra, ...  Read the complete review

I have an M reg Micra. It is very reliable and for a small car seems to have plenty of room. Last summer I drove from Manchester to the south of france with my wife and 3 children and had no problems what so ever although it did get a bit sticky because of the lack of air conditioning. Th petrol consumption is very good. The overall feel of the ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

Living in the big smoke as I do, there is a wealth of cars around, from the classic to the latest model. But as space is such a premium in the congested, polluted modern Scottish city there are an abundance of tiny little cars known as "city cars". Like lice in the hair of a six year old, these little pests are all over the place. As a ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

It’s Friday night and there’s just one set of keys left in the jug where we store such things. Hopes rise for a 200SX, a QX three-litre, perhaps. Get real. Instead, nestled right in the furthest, darkest corner of the garage is a little red three-door Micra 1.0 S. While the once-cute styling might have dated a bit much for ...  Read the complete review

We are thinking of buying a new car, but can't afford a big one not that we could afford to run it anyway with the price of petrol. We have a '98 'E' reg Micra 1.0L which is just about on its' last legs bless it! Because the current one has lasted so long we hope to buy another Micra, perhaps an 'L' or 'M' reg. ...  Read the complete review

The Nissan Micra was one of the string of mini cars that were rolled out on to the forecourts in the mid eighties. Then, it was seen as the car that was used to learn to drive in or was driven by the more mature person (usually at 25mph down a dual carageway). In the mid nineties, it was given a makeover. With the corsa came a new ...  Read the complete review

I have been driving my Micra for 3 1/2 years now and cannot think of one bad thing to say about it. I have the 1000cc version, which now has the cheaper road tax too, but it is powerful enough for me, even when fully loaded with 3 teenagers and a weeks shopping. It is a comfortable car to drive with plenty of headroom, as well as leg space. ...  Read the complete review

I've had my Micra since 1997 when I bought it from new. I bought it because I wanted an affordable car which wouldn't break down. People I spoke to recommended this car and after I test-drove I was in love. It is a one-litre but drives like a 1.3, extremely nippy even after 3 years. I have never had the slightest problem with ...  Read the complete review

We have two Nissans in the family because of the great value they represent. Having always gone for the good old vauxhall I bought a QX 18 months ago and because this car is excellant second hand value and the great service I have recieved from my local Nissan garage I am now the owner of a Micra. Being in the nearly new second hand market the ...  Read the complete review
