Nissan Micra Hatchback 1.2 SE 5d (2004/54) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Value
Not the most expensive in it's class for all the whistles and bells you get. Get a decent discount of list price and it's all good.
Costs
Bodywork is expensive to repair! I get about 40mph in the city and 50mph on the motorways. My partner, who is more careful than me, can get it up to 60mph.

On the road
Driving
It's not as forgiving of mistakes as my old '98 Micra but overall it's pretty good. You can throw it around like a go kart and the turning circle is as tiny as ever.
Performance
Not as nippy as my '98 micra but still pretty good. This isn't a quick or powerful car by any means, but that's not really point of it.

Living with it
Reliability
It's a Micra...it's bullet-proof.
Image
In my opinion it looks daft in any colour but dark blue. It's not a pretty car, but could be described as cute. Definitely a girls car.
Comfort
Great. A nice range of adjustment on the drivers seat means my 6ft 4" fella can drive it no problem.

Security and Service
Security
The keyless entry is great for avoiding the rummage in the handbag when getting in at night. The car itself has an immobiliser and no-one wants to steal a Micra anyway.
Service
Westway Nissan in Birmingham have been all round excellent.
