General Comments

I've had one of the earliest UK-built Micras since new (1993/L). The Nissan Micra K11 1.0l is very comfortable, even on a 6-hour non-stop journey. Drivers seat still not sagging after 66,000 miles & 11 years with a 13-stone driver. Never uses or leaks oil. Only trouble has been faulty Blaupunkt stereo replaced under warranty, dim-dip lights played up a couple of times, crossmember rusted after 9-years, tyre shred tread after 53,000 miles!
998cc engine really is capable, because it's twin-cam, 16 valves & fuel-injected with close-ratio gearbox (18.2 MPH/1000 RPM in 5th), so acceleration is excellent, even from 60 to 70 MPH in 5th: Even a friend with a Jeep & a Max-Power type with an Orion Ghia injection respects its performance (& big front speakers).
