Nissan Micra (93-02) - Review

Review by Parkers on
British-built Micra has 16-valve engines for good performance and reasonable refinement. Its tall body makes good use of interior space. Add in above-average reliability and fuel economy, plus the fact it's nice to drive, and Micra is a top used supermini choice. Revised models from 1998 are safer than the original, have standard power steering and are becoming more affordable. Latest generation cars from mid-2000 have uprated engines and feel livelier to drive.

Comfort

The curvily compact body contains plenty of head- and legroom, and is comfortable for tall drivers and adult rear passengers – at least on shorter journeys. The roomy, light cabin has supportive seats and a spacious load area. Trim and layout look dated now, although everything is superbly screwed together for a budget car.

Practicality

Enough space for a week's shopping, not so good for bulky suitcases. A few cubby holes in the dash and doors for glasses and drinks.

Behind the wheel

Easy to get comfy, all the switches are where you expect them to be and work smoothly. Good visibility, reasonably comfy seats. You'll enjoy driving it.
