Nissan Micra Hatchback (2003 - 2010) 1.6 160SR 3d (2005/55) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I wanted a practicle, quick car thats a bit quirky.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

My mum loves it, my friends were wary as its a micra, and the street cred drops a little when every other person driving one is over 80, but now ive had it a while they love it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, its reliable and comfy and its just a bit different, no because of the petrol costs and the tax cost per year which is £200.

What are you likely to buy next?

Something a bit bigger, would like a volvo c30.

June 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I liked the look of the car, and Nissan is reliable.

What was the dealer like?

Very friendly and helpful, replaced the headlights free of charge

What's it like to drive?

Lovely, handles really well and as its the 160 SR is pretty nippy for a little car. The only problem i have with it is the fuel economy, which is appauling. £50 and the tank isnt even full, and that fills it up to an average of 300 miles, so pretty bad.

What's it like to park?

Fine, fits most places, ony issue i have is it feels very big even though its not so i cant reverse side park..thats my fault thought not the cars!

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nope, nothing.

What's most practical about your car?

The space, it looks tiny but its big inside, and can fit 3 adults comfatably in the back.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I love the look inside, the sound system is great as standard.
