General Comments

I was advised to buy a Nissan Micra because it is supposed to be the most reliable small car on the road but I must say I have not found this to be the case with my own model - an automatic Nissan Micra K11 1.0l, N reg. This is only my second car after an automatic Rover Metro 1.4 K reg, which did have tinny bodywork but never let me down (until someone smashed into the back of me and drove off (writing off said car).
With the Micra I've had a lot of electrical problems and also distributor problems. The car is not guaranteed to start first time - unlike the Metro. I may just be unlucky but I would not buy a Micra again. Am considering exchanging it for another Rover!

    it isn't clear what the problem is with my micra and mechanics cannot identify problem either. tried changing the throttle body (75 pounds from scrap yard!)but this hasn't helped. Is this a distributor problem? I may be forced to scrap it so we'll just never know!

    sounds like you picked up a dodgy one...you have to be careful especially with the automatic ones.
    good points are.
    1. no oil leaks
    2. sounds like a sowing machine (very quite)
    3. look at colour of oil, dirty (hasnt been cared for)
    4. good service history

    pretty basic really/

    Sorry to hear of your misfortune but I have a micra 1.3 auto lx and it is the snooks.I have had no probs with my car and it is a 1993 (L) model.the only fault that i find is that the car uses to much petrol but as an auto that is to be expected.

    I am having problems with my current Micra (L reg). I had one before (K reg) which was great until my boyfriend crashed it. This one has had a new exhaust and is difficult to drive. It starts jumping if I accelerate too hard. My local garage say it could either be the distributer or the immobiliser but there is no guarantee. Any suggestions?
