“More reliable than death”

written by on 17/02/2013

I bought my Micra when I changed to a new job 35 miles away that I couldn't get to by train (didn't have a car previously). I didn't want to spend much since if I was only using for getting to work whatever I spent seemed like a straight reduction in my salary. Got a 52-plate with about 60k on the clock for £1200, and in three years it has not once let me down. It's started up first time every day, even when the temperature plunged below -10, and has cost very little to maintain. No it's not going to set your pulse racing, and the styling is a bit noddy-ish, but it does the job I bought it for extremely well. Even though I could have bought a much pricier car by now I don't really see the point - I'm going to keep the Micra until it dies, which by the looks of things may well be after I do!
