Nissan Micra

Mark Prince, General Manager,

Nissan Widnes

"A GREAT little car that boasts BIG car comfort. A reliable, economical car for any small family. This Micra has been very well cared for and has a full service history, with every service stamp in the book since the car was first registered. Overall the Micra looks the business, even when compared with other offerings in this very fashion-conscious section of the car market. Running costs are reasonable and it comes with a high standard of safety equipment. Nissan has an excellent reputation for reliability, and that's reflected in its placing in the most recent JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study, where it finished fourth out of 24 brands, so you can have confidence in the longevity of this car. There's lots of safety technology fitted as standard to all models, including driver, passenger, side and curtain airbags, tyre pressure monitoring, hill start assist and high-beam assist. On top of this, lane-keeping assistance (which helps steer you back in your lane should you be distracted and drift out of it), as well as autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection (which will automatically bring the Micra to a stop if it detects a likely collision with another vehicle or a pedestrian), are all part and parcel of the Micra's make-up. Whether you do a lot of miles or not, your driving position is crucial, and this is something the Micra does particularly well. The seats are supportive, and there's plenty of steering wheel adjustment, so most people will find it easy to achieve a comfortable driving position. All Micras come with a fixed rear seat base and a backrest that splits and folds 60/40. As is the case with almost every rival, folding the backrest gives you a longer load space that has a step up from the boot floor. Ride comfort is reasonably good, and the Micra is easy to drive thanks to a light, responsive feel to the steering, clutch pedal and gearshift.
