Nissan Micra reviews

I need a car for my independence, having a collapsed spine. The little Micra is perfectly adequate for a widow like me to do the essential things associated with daily life. I can go the 45 mile journey to visit my daughter and her husband - seldom in the winter as we can often have a deep fall of snow. It is very gratifying to be able to do my own shopping but have to do a 22 mile round trip to be sure I can park. That facility is not available in the village. I put 2100 miles on the clock for the past 12 months and would think the make and model is quite adequate for a single person household. As Jemima is now 11 years old it may soon be time to part company. When that time comes I would be very happy with another Nissan and would certainly recommend it as a good and not expensive to run vehicle.

Small, nippy, no-frills, cheap to run and reliable so far.

The Nissan Micra is a very reliable small car, a good size for parking in London. This car cost very little money in running costs and maintenance so really economical and good for short or fairly short journeys not a car you would own if you travelled great distances regularly but otherwise ticks the right boxes.

these are brilliant all round motors for newly qualified & experienced drivers. also used as entry level rally cars due to them having a super tough engine with reliability that in my mind cant be equaled. not the best on fuel due to it being old and having 2 cat-boxes in the exhaust system and the coil packs sometimes give the car a bit of a miss-fire but all in all i cant complain as all ive spent on it since buying it is the actual price of the car and fuel. never broke down (fingers crossed).

I have driven many cars, but only owned Nissan. they are comfortable to sit in for long periods, easy to drive,economical. All in all I just love my Micra.....however, because of disability and space requirements I am upgrading - to a Nissan Note! :)

My Micra is cheap to run, very reliable, looks good, and is a pleasure to drive. It also has a tighter turning circle than any other car I have driven.

It`s suitable for the kind of driving I do; being an older person, I drive it mainly in town and it is relatively easy to park.

My Micra is a great workhorse, ever dependable, lots of room in the back & lots of space for us to sit.

This was a car I was given free after writing off my old car. It is very basic indeed: manual windows, no central locking, no back doors, noisy ventilation/heater (no air con), but it is easy to park in small spaces, fits 2 adults, 2 children in car seats, a buggy and a little luggage, and costs very little to run. Cheap to insure - my insurers gave me money back to transfer the policy, and that was after paying out for the write-off!

This is the 4th Nissan Micra I have owned and although I could afford to buy a higher priced car have never had the inclination to change. Small and reliable it suits me. My new car (had the last one for several years) is practical, reliable and a joy to drive.

A practical small car, roomy enough to take two children and one adult in the back. Excellent turning circle, easy to park in small spaces. I just wish the boot space were flat with the hatchback door and not so deep, as it's difficult to lift heavy things out. The steering is sometimes a litle over-sensitive. Otherwise I am very satisfied with the car.

Absolutely pleased with this model and previous Micra models that I have owned. Very low maintenance apart from replacing tyres, wipers and servicing.

I find the Micra a good car but with limited boot space, It suits us as we can fold down rear seats. I find there is limited space for child seats in rear which we have discovered with 2 grandchildren but it is a good runaround car for 2 people and miserly with petrol and road tax/insurance.

I bought my Micra from new and have owned it for 9 years. It used to be a low rate for road tax but over the years has crept up to £175 with the changes in emission rates. It has always proved to be a very reliable car and reasonably cheap to run. The seats can become uncomfortable on long runs though. I have found it to fit in with my lifestyle very well and there has always been enough space for luggage and my dog along with passengers when going on holiday. I would buy another Nissan when the time comes.

Very good, cheap (to buy and run) small car. Reliable, no-frills but gets happily from A-B with good fuel consumption.

Bought this car in 2007 when my Volvo "died". Absolutely delighted with it. Great to manoeuvre, easy to park, compact turning circle. Responsive steering and good road holding.. In fact an absolute gem!

THE MICTA HAS BEEN VERY GOOD THE ONLY THING I WOULD CHANE IS THEFACE OF THE CLOK IT IS BLACK AND DIFFICULT TO SEE WITHOUT ANY LIGHTS SWITCHED ON

I have enjoyed driving Micras since the 80's. This one has been exceptional, probably the others were too but I only kept them 30 months because I was working, receiving expenses, however when I retired I had to stop that nonsense and this one has never ever let me down. It has sat every night in a public car park which accounts for the scrapes and colours on the bodywork, however that has not prevented it from starting first time, even in the coldest of weathers. I still get 59 miles to the gallon in summer, down to 56 in winter, and I do not drive like a li'l old lady. Friends have always commented on the comfort and space in it. Yes, everyone loves my Micra - especially me.

The car is a basic useful tool for most purposes. Performance is not outstanding & tends to be noisy on motorways. Heating & air circulation is not that good. Visibility for parking etc. is not great. It is reliable & economical.

Basic model, does what is says on the tin, only problem is the drivers door mirror does not adjust out enough which creates a dangerous blind spot.
