Nissan Micra Hatchback 1.2 S 5d (2003/53) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Overpriced when new. Does not hold value well.
Costs
Insurance and fuel economy good, no experience of servicing costs, but I understand them to be high.
-
On the road
Driving
Very light, little feedback through steering.
Performance
Slow and always struggling. Engine lacked refinement.
-
Living with it
Reliability
The first car I have ever had which has broken down. The steering completely seized on a main road. It was very dangerous. More worryingly, the fault could not be found. Needless to say, the car was sold 8 months after it was purchased.

Just look at it.
Comfort
Able to feel every bump. Rear passengers sit directly on top of wheel arch. I am 6 ft 1, and my head would touch the ceiling in the back despite the car's height

Security and Service
Security
No alarm, but no other complaints. Who'd want to nick one anyway?
Service
Dealer was awful: refused to accept there was a fault, even though the RAC had to be called.
