Nissan Micra Reviews

Nissan Micra

The cheeky Micra offers excellent reliability. With five different grades, three or five doors, choice of diesel and petrol engines and eleven body colours, the Micra is satisfyingly personal.

Review

SMALL RELIABLE BASIC VEHICLE, EASY TO PARK ECONOMICAL TO RUN. GREAT RUN AROUND. I CANT FIND NO NEGATIVE POINTS TO COMMENT ON. I'M NOT A BOY RACER SO TREND IS NOT A PROBLEM. THE CAR MEETS MY EVERY NEED.

Favourite Features

ECONOMICAL AND COMFORTABLE SEATING. MAINTENANCE COSTS AND LOW INSURANCE ARE ALL FEATURES WHICH ARE NOTICEABLE PLUS FEATURES.

Suggested Improvements

THIS CAR MEETS MY EVERY NEED. HOWEVER ITS NOT ALWAYS CONVENIENT TO PUSH REAR SEATS FORWARD TO ENLARGE THE BOOT.

My Fab Car

Review

The Nissan Micra does not appeal to everyone because of its shape and look. This was my first car and I got it for a cheap price. The main reason you may want to purchase this car is the price for its cheap. Second thing is you get the best insurance type with this car.

My advice to young drivers out there would be to pick this up for a first car. You will get a decent car here and learn well on the road. In the time I had this car on the road there was hardly any problems for me.

The car even worked in the bad weather for me and even in the snow it was a car that would run well. The brakes, and the clutches were fantastic. One problem though was when you had 5 people in the car going up a hill the car did feel over packed and it felt like you could fall back with your car unless your pressed the gas button really hard and fast.

Favourite Features

I liked the fact how the car would cost me less money, in petrol it was cheap. I only used the car for work so on a weekly basis I would spend only ten pounds. Insurance was cheap so I got the chance to save my money with the car.

I liked the car's seats to they were comfortable and the heater used to work very well to. I even had air conditioning in my car which also worked a treat. The car did have its positive advantages a good amount.

Suggested Improvements

Running on the motorway with this car is a issue especially with the gear box. The gear box is not very tight which means you can easily put the car into the wrong gear. On several occasions this happened to me!

The gear box should have been done made much more easier to control. I can say the same about the steering wheel these were the two major issues I had with the car.

Nissan Micra

Review

I love my Nissan Micra. It is cheap to run, cheap insurance and quite quick. The car is also surprisingly comfy and roomy inside. Also, the 1.3 engine of the Micra means that it can overtake cars. The car is also avalaible in a number of different colour and I have the silver version which is relatively fashionable.

Favourite Features

My favourite features of the car include the noise that the car makes and also the cd players that the car came with. The electronic windows are also great.

Suggested Improvements

If I was to make any changes to the car then I would maybe make the interior of the car of a better quality. Also, the sunroof could be electronic also.

Nice little car

Review

We have been having this car in our household for more than 18 months. I must say this car is very reliable. We normally park it off street open air all nights, even during the peak winters when temperature is subzero, the car starts in the first go. Althought not very good for motorway driving, this is a very good car for local commuting or as a second car where the useage is regular but not requiring to do many miles each day. Not that it is suitable for longer distances but something that I never tried. It is easy to steer around its small and compactness makes it very easy to park. Dont think you dont have enough room since its being small. Its big enough to hold the people and little luggages would be fine too.

Favourite Features

I like its compactness, being small its easy to steer around the corners and makes the parking job easy. I am the worst parker in the world but still I never had any problems using this car and highly recommend this.

Suggested Improvements

I would have thought it has got more room for luggage, but as I said as a second car I cant complain. For the money it costs and reliability it offers you cannot whine can you?

Review

It works fine, its affordable and I recommend everybody to buy it, will be fun car for the family. I woud love to see it in the future with new features and good style. I will recommend my friend of the new Micra.

Favourite Features

I like the inside of the car, it gives a fantastic view and it will be in good condition if they put new system on it.

Suggested Improvements

I would love the company of Micra to develop this car, it will be the family car in the future. Also I would like the company to make test drive for the car to be well known.

Micra Reliability

Review by Val Smart on 7/12/2009

Review

This is my second automatic Nissan Micra but this one - 7 years old - has 5 doors. It has been used for work transport and now as a runabout for a retiree and it has never let me down. Being automatic it is so easy to drive and I would hate to have to have manual again.

Favourite Features

I am tall and my favourite features are that this small car has higher headroom than most. Good legroom and spacious boot.

Suggested Improvements

This car is quite old and I expect newer versions are better in some ways but I prefer the shape to the new ones. This car suits me very well as it is.

Review

I believe the Nissan Micra is a reliable and easy to run car, it is lovely and compact and very easy to park and maneovre into small places. It is also a very attractive car and very comfortable to be in. Good on petrol compared to alot of other cars too.

Favourite Features

My favourite features would be the small size of it as its so easy to drive and park, also I like the overall look of the car and its very reliable too.

Suggested Improvements

The only things I can think of are more room inside the car and perhaps a different interior design for the seats etc. Apart from this I think the car is great!!

Drive with a Micra!

Review

I recently got a Nissan Micra to save me money on my insurance and my petrol. I got this car for about 700 pounds second hand which I thought was a good price. The Nissan Micra cars are not for show if you want a car that is nice from the inside and outside then this is not the one.

If you are like me looking to save some money on your car costs then get the Micra. The Micra has been very cheap to insure even for my little brother who is only 18 so it saves money in our family by getting the micra car.

The performance on the car is not bad either okay it does not drive that fast. It does get me to all the places I want to get to. I have been so many places in the last month traveling over 150 miles with no problems at all. The car has taken me to them places fine.

Every week the fuel cost is not much as well it saves me a lot of money which I used to spend before. Also I remember the car started up in the cold just last week with no hassle at all. The engine warms up fast so the car is most of the times very warm in about 5 minutes after starting it.

Favourite Features

Everyone would not agree with this but I think the car is just the right one to have. The best features are it does take you everywhere with no hassle at all. Okay people look at you and some may laugh you are in a Micra but the car does get you where you want.

The boot of the car is very big actually for a small car which I have been impressed about. I think the Micra's quality inside are good with the seats being comfortable and the heating system of the car working fine always.

Suggested Improvements

When you buy a Micra you know what to expect its not a luxury car. The car has got the chance of improvements but you do know what you are buying. This is not a sports car so do not expect it to be driving you so fast everywhere. The speed of the car could improve maybe.

Also the car is a little too down on the road when compared to other cars. Maybe they could have improved the shape of the car to make it better. The car is very impressive with its running on the road though but a better shape would have been more appealing to me.
