“More reliable than death”
Written 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... (read more)

As a 17 year old, my first car was very important to me so when i stumbled upon my little Micra i wasnt too sure at first due to their rep as beig old lady cars, however i'm glad i bought it! at 37500 miles my 52 plate was a bargain! full service history and no major damage, scratches there are plenty of due to the elderly owner before me having some medical issues. the steering is light, and the gear box is brilliantly smooth. the size of the car is perfect for a 17 year old, small enough...

Written on: 16/04/2012
I own Nissan Micra 1.0L, which is very nice car and had NO problem at all so far. My last trip gave me around 35mpg in town, i don't know whether that is good or not. Hmm, when there is more than one person, the car feels abit heavy and needs to be accelerated abit harder. But again, it is 1.0L car. It very good for shopping, and short journies i guess,... but of course you can take it to the motorway... I reached with this baby around 99mph while coming back from Brighton last... (read more)

My first car was a 1996 Nissan Micra 1.0, but after an accident last year I chose to sell it and replace it. Being 18 I needed a car similar in size and power. I looked at Ford Fiestas and Renault Clios but I struggled to find one within my £2000 budget with under 90,000 miles. After a lot of searching I bought another Nissan Micra, this time a mint 2002 1.0, with 70k, metallic paint, remote central locking, electric windows, etc for just £1250.

I was looking for a car for my wife as a new driver and she has an auto only licence. First of all we got a Ford Fiesta 1.2LX 1998 in August. It was rubbish!, the auto transmission would always lock and it would often stall when placed into drive 'D'. The interior was nice though. After this bad experience I did my research and discovered that the Micra K11 is probably the best, most reliable small Automatic you can buy. So we brought one, a 1998 Eq 1.0L Auto in Red.

Nisan Micra 1.3 Ally 5dr: I bought this car in response to a spell of relative poverty, and dreaded stepping down from my sports car to a generic bit of automotive drudgery. However I've been very pleasntly surprised by the micra. The first thing I notied was it's size, even for a small car the amount you can get in it is amazing much better than a Ford Ka for example. The second thing is how nippy it is. It's not fast by any means, but it specializs in urban driving and where my old car... (read more)

Overall the Micra is a great car. It has a struggle keeping up with the big boys but, as long as its serviced regularly then it will never let you down. We have had only had 2 times where ours wouldn't start, and I believe it was down to dirty fuel. The Micra is very reliable and is ideal for a first car. The one problem I have is that I'm 5ft 11 and my seat won't go back far enough for me to be completely comfortable, so long journeys can be a bit of a discomfort. But hey I love my Micra. (read more)

RE UPGRADE<br/>sell it and buy a more powerful car the Micra's archaic rear suspension cannot cope with lots of power and high speed cornering, it is perfectly adequate for the Micra's intended performance but our 1.0l 16v is not god at high speed curves, stick to 70 or below and it is perfect.

Hi all, I'm new on here, but had to find some write ups on the Micra, and found it very helpful. having just had a really bad experience with a Vauxhall Astra diesel. 2 months ago I paid £16000 for it and it was a lemon, used all the oil and had a water leak, needless to say the engine was knackered, and I lost £1100. on it.. had to sell to a dealer.
<br/> But today I am getting a Micra 1.0Ltr. and after reading the reviews I am so excited, at last a reliable car. and so cheep to run.
<br/>will let you know my verdict after driving it for a week or so, compared to the Astra Estate.

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?

I am currently stationed in Japan and purchased a 1996 Nissan March(same as Micra but for some reason they used "March" in Japan). The distributor went bad and they want $900 dollars for the part alone. Does anyone know a web site I can get one from. I hate to junk it because it ran so well when the distributor went bad. It only has 42,000 miles on it.

Ours is family car, has a towbar lugbing half a ton of stuff on a regular basis, the seats are not best in world but not uncomfortable, i think yours is faulty if needing re-tracing etc, mine is 1993 K11 and is perfect, all i could do with is a bigger one for boot space but other than that no prob whatsoever. and if i had no kids then the boot would be plenty too!

The Nissan Micra is a superb vehicle! Economy, power-to-weight ratio, quality engineering and design, simple, reliable and inexpensive to own, parking is very easy. Performance is better than most small cars to begin with, but it so much more potential than most other small cars because its engine is like a miniature version of the potent Nissan SR20DE. Responds exceptionally well to turbocharging and extra breathing mods such as extractors, cold air intake etc.

I have Nissan Micra K11 1.0l a 1993 1.0L 3dr which I bought used in 1999. It is my first car and has proved to be exceptionally reliable, needing only routine maintenance and replacement of wear and tear items (although the starter motor did fail at approx 62,000 miles). Performance is surprisingly good for such a small engine and it happily - if a bit noisily - cruise at motorway speeds.

This Nissan Micra K11 1.0l has proved to be a real gem, i never believed that such a basic model with no flairs, could be such a joy to drive!
It is like riding a favourite go-kart in a fairground, but you can take it home afterwards!
I have had nothing but pure fun with this car, ok, on motorways it takes time to shift, but when it does, you will have a smile on your face, i have easily reached and maintained 92 MPH , despite my car being 10 years old! (July 1993! )
i average also despite...

“I have a 97 Registered K11 Micra 1.0i 16valve....”
Written on: 13/05/2003 by Broomy.
I have a 97 Registered K11 Micra 1.0i 16valve. Although it is only my first car, I still reckon that it was one of the best, and possibly one of the most underrated cars on the road today. As a student, I cannot be left with a standard car, so up to this point I have made a few minor tweeks to it. The first was an installation of a new sound-system. As owners of Micras will know, the Nissan one isn't up to much, so that got replaced with a JVC head unit, 120w JVC speakers in the front to... (read more)

My little Nissan Micra (or March) is a 2nd generation K11. Mine arrived with 44 thousand on the clock, leather seats, power windows (4), power mirrors, airbag, antiseptic treatment on the steering wheel and gear knob, treated glass that makes it seem like its got an eternal coat of Rain X, and UV cut glass. (blocks uv light) (all these are standard on a Singapore reg March. ok Performance - the car runs fine in the city. easy to move around. highway crusing at 60 mph is comfortable.... (read more)

I have changed the skinny little wheels for 15" alloy wheels with 195-45-15 tyres, the extra grip created is amazing and the soft handling is transformed by the tiny sidewall of the tyre. It also needs to be this size tyre and not the cheaper 195-50-15 to keep the rolling diameter of the wheel the same for correct speedo readings.

I can say it's a nice car (model K11 March )
<br>Imported mine from Japan directly (16000 km ) when bought. Mine is a 1340 cc with double SRS air bag , ABS power steering Aircon etc .....
<br>Smooth in driving fast for overtaking.
<br>Only problem I have is that the owner's Manual is in Japaneese , I would like to know if any of you know where I can find a manual in English

The Nissan Micra K11 1.0l is a good car, doesn't look like it, but it's fun to drive, and a sweet sounding engine when past 4000rpm. (read more)
