absoultly nothing wrong with it mate,
its just a Shame the keys have been lost for it N.A.T.s imobiliser prevents it from being put back on the road,
Nissan want over £500 to sort it ,,
its been parked up for months over 6mths road tax got wasted on it, shame realy

Micras are horrible-looking little cars, and are typically driven - at 25 - 30 MPH, along twisty A roads where the limit is 60 and opportunities for overtaking are few and far between - by very old people, who don't understand why there's a 2 mile tailback behind them.

Nissan don't make any model of car that makes me want to buy one (even their sport cars, like the 370Z, do nothing for me)

They're all just old Datsuns anyway.

I had a new Micra as a loaner when my stupid pick-up was having its clutch changed. My mate was driving (it turns out I could have but we didn't know it would be legal at the time). It took my back 10 minutes to start complaining, my mate's back must be made of sterner stuff because it too him 20 minutes before he said something Quite a nippy manoeuvrable little car, just a shame it looks disgusting throughout and the seats will put you in traction.

[FarmerPug]

yes they are all slightly appliancy, just a to b cars. But those wee micras are always a good car to try and sell, some oap is always on the lookout for one, id rather sell them an old micra than an old rover. And it seems nissan still hasnt became able to make the micra nice looking the new ones just as bad.

Anyone who tries to sell an old person a micra shouid go on Crime watch

Wheres your respect for your Elders ?

[FarmerPug]

what else do you expect them to drive, id be happier selling them a micra which at least has some character over a hyundai getz

[steve_earwig]

Pfft, both are crusher fodder.

Theres nowt wrong with hyundais farmer p,
ive had a few and theyve been good reliable motors,

ithink the micras are a good buy for Learner drivers,
cheap insurance on them and they blend in well with a few Dents & scrapes,

ibought the micra originaly for my wife it was near mint when ibought it she thrown a pan at me when ishowed her what id bought for her .
iended up going out and buying her a xreg polo as a way of saying im sorry

[FarmerPug]

im quite sure a hyundai is reliable but so is the micra, but at least the micra has a bit of character, the hyundai is as interesting as a full stop in an article in the financial times.

iguess some hyundias can be considerd as shite but the ones ive had have been ok,
ihad a Yreg Lantra ipaid £250 for it tax and tested it had taxi stickers on it when igot it -that was the only thing wrong with it ,

Micra reliable ?

there not mate they Eat Throttle bodys and lamba sensors and cats,
