2003 Nissan Micra 1.2 SE review from UK and Ireland
"Nissan needs to get their build quality sorted"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Broken seat mechanism (3 times)
Interior trim coming loose.
Various rattles and creaks.
Jack retaining strap snapped.
Suspension clonks and squeaks (unresolved still)
General comments?
A good car to drive, let down by atrocious fit and finish; and poor dealer service. Economy with air-con on is terrible, about average otherwise. Seats are unsupportive. They get quite uncomfortable after an hour or so! Engine really needs to be revved hard to get anywhere fast.
