Good Points
Fun to drive, handles very well.
Bad Points
Gearbox can be a little dodgy, the thing eats tyres for fun, no real spare tyre to speak of, costs a FORTUNE to maintain (just wait until the cambelt needs changing!).
General Comments
I have driven Nissans since they were Datsun and can honestly say that this Micra 1.5dCi SVE is the last Nissan I will own. My local dealer refused to believe that it had a cambelt (good bit of product knowledge there) and then an extortionate price is charged for any cambelt change. The cambelt kit alone is almost £200.
It also boasts an uncommon tyre size (175/65R15), which many garages do not carry so have fun with any punctures!
In my opinion this is definitely a car to avoid.
