1996 Nissan Micra Shape review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong. (yet!)
It has only cost me twice:
-Two front tires
-Routine service.
General comments?
This car is very economical:
-Around 45 Miles per gallon
-Cheap tax
-Cheap insurance.
Has quite a feminine image, but looks better with 'Storm grey' paint and a rear spoiler!
The interior is OK, but a little spartan (No clock, rev counter, sunroof), but this is expected on a basic car.
Performance is good for a 1 litre; cruises at 70 MPH and is good around town, but runs out of breath on hills.
Tip: Standard micra mud flaps trap dirt behind them and need to cleaned every 3 months. (Could be a future rust spot?)
Overall, an excellent first time car.
