Nissan Micra 1.0 Equation 3d (1998/S) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
For what you get it's an outstanding little car.
Costs
I get around £40 to the gallon and the cheap insurance was a godsend while I was building up a no claims bonus.

On the road
Driving
It's really easy to drive, and very forgiving of silly mistakes. A perfect first car.
Performance
It's only a little dot, so you're not going to get fantastic acceleration and power, but it is VERY nippy and I've been a few lairy Volkswagen G olf driver off at the lights.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Never let me down in four years. I abused her terribly too, and she just kept on trucking.
Image
It looks a bit like a Metro that's eaten all the pies. It's cute, definitely a girls car.
Comfort
My 6"ft other half never had a problem getting comfortable in it, except if he was driving on a long journey.
-
Security and Service
Security
It has an immobiliser, but that's about it. The best security is the fact that no-one want to steal a Micra or it's stereo.
Service
Never needed to use it.
-
Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
No problems at all.
Other
I wouldn't be getting rid of it if it wasn't for the fact that I have such a basic model. Nissan earned a lot of brand loyalty from me and I've replaced her with the New Micra and it's whistles and bells.
Ownership
Did you buy the car new?
Used
Would you buy the same model again?
Yes
Did you buy from the same manufacturer again?
Yes
