Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Excellent value. Lots of equipment as standard on the SE model.
Costs
Fuel consumption disappointing at 42-44mpg. Service at 9000 miles bit pricey at £130, extortionate prices for accessories.

On the road
Driving
Great to drive, but clutch bite is high. Handling very good as is just about everything else.
Performance
Needs to be revved hard to get good performance, not much low down torque available.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No mechanical problems, but a whole host of suspension, trim and interior problems.

People still see the Micra as an oldies choice!
Comfort
Plenty of room, but seats need more under thigh and lateral support.

Security
Pretty faultless here. Keyless entry is a real gem!
