Summary
What does this car say about you?
I like odd looking things!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Can't believe it is so big on the inside when it looks small on the outside. Colour black makes it look like a small black taxi.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes because of the economy (over 50 miles per gallon), £30 road tax, reliability, fun to drive & very nippy. This is my 2nd Micra, after my first one was hit by a motorbike :(.
What are you likely to buy next?
Micra, but definitely not the new version one that is out now (2012), as it looks the same as all the other small hatches.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Independent
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£6,500
When did you buy the car?
April 2012
Did you get a good deal and why?
Yes, car had only 10k on the clock, with a built in sat nav. & similar micras that I looked at were over 1k dearer, especially in the franchise dealerships with double the mileage.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Wanted a nippy car, but more economical than petrol, hence diesel model & have not been disappointed at all - Returns approx. 50 - 52 miles to gallon - all urban driving.
What was the dealer like?
Extremely helpful. No messing around & straight to the point.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Extremely easy to drive & very comfortable seating. Holds the road and corners extremely well no matter what the weather conditions are like.
What's it like to park?
Very easy to park, turning circle is brilliant.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing as yet but nothing went wrong with my one I had 4 years ago either until a motorbike took a dislike to it!
What's most practical about your car?
The big windows, allows loads of light in.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Has to be the Nissan Sat-Nav, big clear screen, easy to operate & has the added bonus of telling me about all the speed cameras that I am coming up to & what speed I should be doing!!
