Nissan Micra C+C (05-09) - Review Review by Ben Wall on 07 October 2005 Last Updated: 01 May 2009 There's no shortage of small convertibles on the market, but while the Micra C+C may not be the sportiest choice, it still has a lot going for it. Well built, comfortable and affordable to run, it's a drop top that appeals to the head as well as the heart. It does lose some of the cuteness of the standard Micra hatchback, but it's as easy to drive and features the same neatly laid out interior. Although it has four-seats, the rear two are only useful as extra luggage space, but the boot is surprisingly large. The electrically-folding roof is all glass - giving the interior an airy feel - and takes around 20 seconds to retract. There are just two engine choices though and no diesel is available. 3 out of 5 Other Nissan reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 3 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £13,250 - £16,828 Used price range: £2,923 - £7,150 View all used prices Get a Nissan Micra C+C (05-09) information pack Next steps Nissan Micra C+C cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
