Good Points: Small compatible, cost effective.
General comments: Too light. The time chain costing £1200. Bought and stuck costing me time money enerygy and stress is under warranty but the shop i bought it from is not willing to pay £1200 to repair. Anyone to advise on where i can repair without having to pay this much.
Nissan should change the way the time chain is manufactured as it is costing the buyers so much money.

I have experienced numerous problems since buying a brand new Micra in 2004, the most recent and expensive problem being the timing chain. The engine warning light came on so I took it to my local Nissan dealership while it was still under warranty on two occasions.
On both occasions they told me it had been repaired and when it was out of it's warranty (a matter of 1 week later), they told me it needed a new timing chain which would cost around £1200.
They told me this without looking ...

The Nissan Micra was great little car until it started costing me money. Needed a new timing chain at only 24500 miles I am disgusted the dealer wanted to charge me £1192.00 pounds, got it done at my own garage for £653.00 which is still a lot but better than the dealer! can anyone else advise on who to contact as Nissan wont entertain me either? Will never buy Nissan again.
We were going to buy a nissan Quashqi but after the way we have been treated, we would rather walk than give ...

Low running costs, the Nissan Micra serviced me in France, we went to Andora through the mountains, no problem except of course the speed. I used Forte engine flush from the start plus I use Shell super unleaded, excellent performance.
Excellent small car. You take car of your car it will take of you.

Is anyone experiencing problems with front windows scratching, screeching, sticking or rattling? I am pursuing a claim through the small claims court and would appreciate contact with anyone experience the same problems and lack of support from Nissan.

Please, please, please. Can all the other people experiencing timing chain problems with Micra get in touch with consumer advice companies. May be, just maybe we will persuade Nissan to take responsibility for their manufacturing blunder that is costing Micra owners thousands of pounds.

I drove my Nissan Micra K10 GSX to Mongolia this summer, over 10,000 miles in under 2 months, with not a single mechanical fault. I'd like to see any of today's car's stand up to such a ruthless test over 3 deserts and 5 mountain ranges! My Micra is a 1991 988cc GS with 60,000 on the clock.
A negative point is that it rusts a lot more than other cars of similar age, due to lack of any rustproofing as standard.
I firmly believe that no one needs a car over 1 litre. If I drove to Mongol ...

Had our Nissan Micra K10 GSX since almost new - in 1995 and it still goes brilliantly. Had no problems and is now our third car for the children to drive around. The 19 year old son says it is uncool, but the low cost, good fuel consumption and incredible reliability means that he's the one who is laughing.

The Nissan Micra K10 is a great city car, great to go to the supermarket and back, and great at getting into tight spaces. It can be found for sale anywhere at a good price, and is an ideal first car, or even second or third. Although it may have 2 or 3 faults, all cars are the same, however, it's ultra-reliable engine, once not abused, will probably last longer than the bodywork, an engine that will start on cold Winter mornings, and will last up to 200,000 miles (my cousins 1990 Micra has alre ...

The Nissan Micra K10 GSX Nice Small Car
Comfortable
NO Timing Belt! It has a timing chain that needs absolute 6 month oil changes regardless of mileage or it cloggs and snaps - very expensive!
Parking Dents a Common Problem
Excellent 2nd car for the missus!
Good residuals if bought at the right price - beware dealers try for silly money, DONT pay them! Find a nice privately owned example and pay the right price, a dealer can ask £1000 more for an 8 year old model!! Dont be a mug! ...

The Nissan Micra K10 GSX has really good performance for a 988cc.
Goog sporty box'but wont put up with too much abuse.
Engines are solid. Hamdles like a Go-Kart.
It has a lot of Body roll and a tendency to wheelspin from stationary when turning, then carry on wheelspinning up into third gear.
No torque at low revs.

The K10 Nissan Micra (old shape) is a good small car with enough power for everyday running about but is not to good on motorway hills but will cruise quite happily at the motorway speed where the road is flat. Great wee car-would recommend to anyone.

The nissan Micra K10 (the old shape) is the best small car on the road. It has 60BHP when in 1.2 form. That 0.2l difference really makes the car a lot more comfortable and able.

Micras are the best city cars around, giving a decent drive on motorways and long routes as well. All they want is regular oil & filter change (5k miles) and timing (cam) belt replacement (60k miles), and they can easily last for 15+ years / 150k miles. Reliability is next to nothing.. they hardly ever refuse to start every morning, even during winter. Easiest car to work on and lots of things to do for the DIY enthusiast. Many Micra owners and fans have their own excellent web sites and the cre ...
