DO NOT BUY

Bought brand new Nissan Micra automatic in early 2014. Within a month, problems started....... radio and electrics failing repeatedly, accompanied by dreadful noise from engine leading to over-heating, burning smell, then smoke belching out.

It required, within three months, a new starter and ignition switch and radio. The service, care, sympathy, and competence of the staff at the showroom/garage was abysmal and in the realms of ignorance. The mechanic trying to code my radio actually laughed to me he didn't know how to do it.

This 'rebuild' of car did not rectify the problems. They recurred. To cut a very long, stressful story short - the car got replaced in August. I was given another identical Micra.

Identical indeed - the same issues arose. Exactly the same. Plus, the replacement car had an extra problem of the back window winding itself down on a regular basis.

This car now requires a new starter and ignition switch. Amazingly, the extremely large Scottish showroom expects me to accept this car back with gratitude.

Do not under any circumstance subject yourself to a Nissan Micra automatic. It is a dangerous vehicle. These vehicles should be taken off the market.
