Nissan Micra Hatchback (2003 - 2010) 1.2 Sport 3d (2006/55) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Not a lot probably- having it in black with factory fitted body kit and alloys helps but I bought it for reliability and running costs. It does look quite cool though, especially inside.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Mixed opinion. Nothing bad said expect the typical links to old people.

Would you buy this car again and why?

No but only because I like cars and I wuld never buy the same car twice. Its a great wee motor, no problems with it.

Volkswagen Corrado VR6

Franchise

Yes

What price did you pay?

£8,400

When did you buy the car?

January 2006

Did you get a good deal and why?

Got very good deal, and got an upgrade to a Sport + model which has extras such as air-con and upgraded trim levels. Also got it with 0% apr and years free insurance. I was pretty chuffed.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

n/a

What was the dealer like?

Very frendly and helpful, just slow to ever do anything I requested.

What's it like to drive?

For a 1.2 its nippy and can cope with motorway driving without too much hassle. Steering is nice and light at low speeds too which helps in town.

What's it like to park?

It's tiny. Need I say more.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Faulty ignition barrel has been the only thing, took a while to get diagnosis but fixed within half an hour.

What's most practical about your car?

Good fuel economy, rear seats drop very easily to create lots of room, lots of stowage space. Also a handy hook for your chinese takeaway!!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

6 disc autochanger, air-con, electric everything, funky dials and pedals.
