Nissan Micra 1.0 L 3d (1994/L) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Well treated examples keep their value a little higher than most...
Costs
Dirt cheap on petrol, but parts can cost quite a bit. Don't smash it!
-
On the road
Driving
Go-kart like handling and quick gear change make for easy(ish) acceleration. Make sure you don't throw it into a corner though, you'll know about it...
Performance
Probably the quickest 1.0 there is. Put your foot down to the floor and leave Mondeos standing.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Suppose it hasn't broken down...yet.
Image
This rating would be higher if I had a Super S body kit. It's a bit girlie really.
Comfort
Not bad for a trip down the shops, but anything beyond that and you'll need aromatherapy. Harsh ride and very uncomfortable seats. Also I'm sure I've got taller since I first started driving it.

Security and Service
Security
This was a plain zero till I fitted my own alarm and immobiliser. Central locking you say? What's central locking?
Service
None - brought from private trader.
