Nissan Micra Hatchback (2003 - 2010) 1.4 SE 3d (2004/54) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Bit of a girl's car, perhaps. Other drivres don't seem to think that you're going to be very confident or fast enough. They are wrong.

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

Mostly, they aer impressed. Especially when they hear what i have managed to get inside it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Definitely though next time maybe a 5-door. and I wouldn't mnd try the 1.4 though I wonder if it's as economical (most of my journeys range between 54 and 66 mpg...).

What are you likely to buy next?

The 5-door version, but not the newest model. I much prefer the styling of the K12.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

February 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

Bargain car! Very economical, comfortable and ridiculously spacious. I moved house with this car!

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Nippy, though I'd love to find out what the 1.4 is like! makes quite a bit of noise at 70mph but you get used to that. Certainly prevents the driver from any kind of speeding: it must sound like you ere killing the poor thing!

What's it like to park?

Easy enugh, but sometimes I forget just how small it is...

Have you had any problems with the car?

Changnig the bulbs is an artform - it's like working on a watch, precision engineering for tiny hands. Bumpers fold very easily so can look tatty even without much help from supermarket trollies or people who can only park by the sense of touch... Also, sometimes the intelligent windscreen wipers/screen can get carried away...

What's most practical about your car?

Fuel economy and interior space.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I love the intelligent windscreen, when it's behaving. The keyless entry and ignition are also a bonus,.
