Its a bit of a girly car

Three of our neighbours have one, so they cant think they are too bad

Yes, although we wanted something with a bigger boot. The next size up Nissan (the Note has virtually the same boot space, so we bought something else)

Just bought a Skoda Fabia to replace this as it has a much bigger boot

£8,000

April 2008

Yes, bought as a pre-registered model in early 04, on an 03 plate with delivery milage and £1,500 off the usual price. There were loads to choose from

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

to replace an earlier micra which had been good to drive too, just getting elderly

What was the dealer like?

Pleasant, friendly, but unfortunately since closed down!

What's it like to drive?

ok and fine for what it is and what we bought it for, but the engine being small doesnt accelerate quickly, so not so good on a longer journey

What's it like to park?

Easy to park being so small

Have you had any problems with the car?

No, no problems at all. Has been reliable for 27,000 miles in 5 years

What's most practical about your car?

Little touches like the curry hook in the front passenger well, so you dont spill your takeaway, and the space under the front passenger seat for hiding things!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The keyless entry is great, especially when its raining, so you dont get wet when you are trying to find the key!
