2003 Nissan Micra s review from UK and Ireland
"Absolute rubbish"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Crank positioner failed
second crank positioner failed
boot refused to open
boot then refused to shut
electrics short circuited
battery drained for unexplained reason
speakers broke
inside light not functioning
windows rattle.
General comments?
This is the most unreliable car I have ever owned. On two occasions it has simply cut out and stalled while I was driving it, once on a motorway. The same part went twice on it, and altogether I find the build quality, rattling etc totally unacceptable. Main dealership was also totally unhelpful, disinterested and left me stranded on an industrial estate 10 miles out of town without even calling me a taxi! As a result, I have no trust in this car's ability to get me from the shortest A to B, and I have no faith in the garage's ability to deal with my concerns.
I bought the car because I liked the new shape, and also liked the gadgetry, ie intelligent wipers and keyless entry. However, the bad points far outweigh the good in this case.
