Nissan Micra 1.0 Hollywood 5d (1996/N) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Value
Mine cost £1,000 used with no px from a local garage. It pays to shop around and be cheeky when buying a Micra.
Costs
Great on petrol. £20 can last a month, only thing keeping this from being 5 is needed timing chain changed and local garages would not touch it if a friend had not done it would have cost £300.

On the road
Driving
Good except body-roll. Anybody who does a moderate bend in the road at 30mph or more is a braver person than me.
Performance
Once it gets going it can really move, but passengers and hills without a good run up make it crawl.

Living with it
Reliability
Very good, got a flat battery but it was the original battery. Starts first turn of key every time. The only time it broke was my dad's fault not the car.
Image
OK if your female or an old man, it's not really a boy's car is it.
Comfort
I get backache on long journeys and backseats don't really have much room but to be expected it is only a little car.

Security and Service
Security
There is no alarm or anything, but who would want to nick it it's a 10 year old 1-litre Micra so I would say its pretty safe.
Service
Cannot rate as never had to deal with manufacturer.
