Franz Chong, do a google image search on “Nissan Qazana Concept”. That’s what’s somehow going to turn into the next Micra. It’s going to be a weird tiny crossover thing and I doubt it will be quite as cheap as this one.

will be looking at next model of the Micra when it comes out.I am buying on a budget next time around.Currently driving a Tiida but given most of the driving I do is local and everything else I do is done by public transport I don’t see any problems downsizing

The Micra is a small car. Two big guys in the front and it gets a little uncomfortable but surprisingly there’s more rear seat room in this car than my Subaru. The Micra engine is not too shabby, it gets up to highway speeds just fine. The “city collection” special at $15990 drive away is unbeatable as you get safety (6 air bags) and some creature comforts (6 stacker CD) and auto for comparables that start in the $22000 plus range when looking at other makes.

I have just bought a 2008 Micra and I love it. I think it’s cute, funky, the fuel economy is fantastic. This car was designed for women in mind, so you blokes have no need to comment. Go back to your fuel guzzlers.

I love my micra!!!

Im getting my new nissan micra tomorrow and I cant wait! I took it for a test drive 2 weeks ago and I loved driving it. It is a hot little car and is perfect for all the things I need. Having said that, I also didnt have 25 grand to spend on a car and couldnt look past the micras price tag. I thought most of the other cars like the Getz were ugly and simply had boring old shapes and who wants a Yaris-a dime a dozen with twenty-something million of them out on Sydney’s streets! We’ll soon see who knocks them when you have to ride around with your girlfriends in them! Go the micra!!!!

Finally down the end people with sense. Half of the people up the top a utter idiots. There only happy with v8’s and ferrais. Its the modern world and different is in. We cant keep being obsessed with these huge cars because there near extiction. The micra is a great little car and is far from a coffin for god sakes! My mum owns one and she loves it. The fuel consumption is amazing and it only costts liek $40 to fill up. The micra is a very stylish car. And please dont bag chinese cars for your own good because in 15 years we will all drive them because they will be so relibel and well built. And have any of you actually sat in a chinese car? no.

I just bought one for $14880 drive away as a second car. People must remember that not all drivers are motoring enthusiasts, nor do they want nor care about performance cars.
For the price, the car drives well, is very manoevourable and pleasant to drive.
Fuel consumption is good without being sensational. I replaced a Mitsubishi Mirage (owned from new) that in many ways was a better car but it had 175K on it and wasn’t going to last forever. Mirage is low and wide and handles well accordingly. Also had a better auto gear box. However, in the city, there are advantages to high seating position in Micra and the car is beautifully flickable at city speeds.

I have had one for three months and am very disappointed in a couple of areas. Fuel consumption around the city is abysmal – average 9.15 l/km. Complained to Nissan and dealer; not interested. Won’t get into 4th gear unless above 65kmh so around town only ever driving in 3rd. wind noise around rear window makes it sound like a door is half open.

F-O

Comparing a “made in Japan” car with a chinese tin can might not be a good idea. As a customer I have some expectations about the car NIssan make. Over and above that if a car is made in Japan i expect it to be with out a fault and more attention givn to details.

It is not the cheapest. You can get a Hyundai Getz at a better prize.

I am reaching 7500km on my car and I am really hearing noises from everywhere. I feel I should be giving it for an early service and try to seel it later.

MARK -

The quailty is better than anything the Chinese have done thus far, besides its a real old model, it took near half-decade before it arrived into AUS.

Has the honour of being the cheapest NEW A/T car you can buy.

I would be intersted in the next model if priced the same and offered more kit etc

Cheers

I booked a Micra on the day i was made available in the showroom. From the past few months of usage of this car I should say.the following.

Engine- Beautiful
Gearbox- should have been a 5speed automatic, 4speed is not good enough on lowspeeds(i think they forgot citydriving = lowspeed)
suspension- good.
Interrior- Looks all right, But built quality is pathetic( reminds me of some low grade chineese import)at low revs i have vibrations from every part of the car.They should sack the designer and quality controller( probably procurement guy also)
Petrol consumption- No complaints at all
Headlights- good
Rear and front Wiper washer- it is a real sad story,Nissan dont believe in spraying water proparly on to the windscreen. ( procurement guy made some money here for sure). Wiper blades- (God help me to controll my temper!)

I feel if they take care of the above issues. They have a winner in hand. They better work on it.

Most people will not even give this a first glance. Its ugly!

Aus gets a raw deal on this model – compared to europe you lot get only one engine, no manual box, no proper centre belt, no tach, no sliding rear seats.

get past it’s looks (which I personally like) and it’s a pretty decent drive. These things have been out so long in europe nobody gives them a second glance anymore….

Hey All,
I think your all being a bit harsh on the little car. I am a female and I own a 1995 Micra. I have flame decals on it along with mags and tinted windows and get alot of compliments on my little beast. I adore my little car and find it not only a pleasure to drive but great on petrol. It has NEVER let me down and parking is always a breeze.I have not had to repair anything on it apart from a window regulator which was boken by the previous owner.I do however think it is more targeted,and suited to female consumers who are after a small yet zippy little car.
Let me assure you i have certainly thrashed my little baby on several occasions,(once against a V8 Commodore which i left behind no problem)and am amazed that after so many years its still got enough grunt to get you where you want to be with no hassle.
I am thinking of trading in on the new model although the auto transmission is a bit of a turn off for myself.I will certainly be checking it out though if nothing else.
“GO MICRA”

Hey Guys, Wsup? Richard Hammond from the pommy car show Top Gear tried to test the tin top (folding metal roof) version.

He got about two blocks and just dumped it by the side of the road! He couldn’t stand it anymore than that! And that’s from a professional car tester! Must got sick of EVERYONE laughing at him in at THING!!!

Now you know why we coined the phrase “Nissan DON’T know how”! Yeah, don’t know how down right hideously UGLY that stupid THING is!!

Took one for a spin the other day, and my attitude did a 180 lol.

You simply can’t beat $14990 for inner city driving, and even at 100km’s it feels suprisinly well planted, solid and stable. Plenty of zip for overtaking too.

Looks a lot better in real life, its almost 1/2 way to a new mini cooper, and feels like one especially from the inside.

While you wouldn’t fit 4 footballers into it, its got plenty of space.

also it has an arm rest for your left arm, so you can just sit back and chill when driving, or stuck in traffic.
