Like the Micra hatchback, the C+C version is cheap to run. The extra weight of the folding roof does increase fuel consumption a little, but it’s still frugal, managing more than 40mpg. Nissan servicing is reasonably priced while insurance is low – between groups five and seven.

The Micra C+C is a fairly environmentally friendly choice for green buyers. With an average of 164g/km CO2 across the line-up, its emissions are relatively low for a small convertible. The 1.4-litre emits 158g/km of CO2 and returns 43mpg but the 1.6-litre is only fractionally worse, putting out 159g/km of CO2 and averaging 42mpg.

Folding hard-tops are complicated systems and have caused problems on other cars such as the Peugeot 206 CC. However, Nissan has a strong record for reliability and there have been no major issues with the C+C.
