Bought two years ago for wifes shopping car. My car is a mercedes c class estate,or was ! I have now swapped with my wife and Micra is mine! Excellent little car, 998cc automatic. On motorway full bore is just short of 90mph but very happy cruising at 70mph.Cannot understand previous comment re poor heater, within quarter of a mile my heater is roasting hot, much better than Mercedes was ! Economy not as good as I would have hoped, 35-40 overall, but then it is an automatic. However performance wise it is a hoot! Standing starts from traffic lights always surprises everyone, takes off like a pocket rocket ! So pleased with this car that my son has done same for his wife too, bought her a `96 998cc automatic, one owner car, immaculate all over, 54000 miles on clock drives exactley the same as our `02 model. Wish we had got one years ago, absolutely brilliant little car.Will ensure that we always have a Micra now. In fact given the choice if one or other had to go then I`m afraid it would have to be the C class !This little car shows the others (Ford,Vauxhall and EVERY french make) how a small car should be!.
