General Comments

The Nissan Micra 1.5dCi SVE is amazing. Its 1.5 diesel engine propels it along very easily at amazing economy. We are averaging 65mpg (according to the onboard computer) and we live in a rural, hilly area with no dual carriage way for 25 miles, so lots of gear changing.
On a recent journey it returned 72mpg averaging 60mph.
The cabin is well thought out with lots of space for such a small car. There are lots of little touches like a storage box under the passenger seat which lifts up. The rear seat moves backward and forward to allow for either more leg room (moved back) or more storage (moved forward).
The lights are excellent in the night and there is good vision all around. The audio unit is good with steering wheel control. The service interval
is I think 18000 miles or 24months (please check) which means Nissan have a lot of confidence in this little fella. If you are looking for a car of this size check it out and definitely drive this diesel version.
The whole car is well thought out and looks good. It may not be everybody's cup of tea and you may not want to speak Micra but I consider this car to be a winner.
On the down side (there always is one) the gear change can feel a little clunky but it's not a major issue.
