Economy
Value
Mine is 8 month old ex demo. Paid £5500 in dealer sale yet Parker's value it at £6399.
Costs
Still in warranty so no costs yet but experience of Nissan tells me the service costs will be good. MPG excellent, I'm getting 50-52mpg.

On the road
Driving
Wow! Very responsive without having to try too hard. 16v is evident.
Performance
OK so its not your typical performance car but handles really well in all conditions from town to M6 drive. Some snobby (jag, BMW) drivers get very upset to see a 1.2 Micra in the third lane of the motorway. very nippy and great to park.

Living with it
Reliability
Not had mine long but am confident at a long, hassle-free life with it.
Image
My partner hates the image so I guess it isn't a man's kind of car. Mine's coral blue and all my friends love it. very much a girlie car. As for the 'oldies' image its just not true. Count the number of 'oldies' driving BMW and souped up Subaru!
Comfort
Everyone comments on how deceiving the car is. Comfy for driver and passenger.

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser fitted as standard, deadlocks. Women drivers feel secure with anti-hijack system.
Service
Very helpful staff. After sales call to check I was happy. Benfield dealer very recommended.
