The NISSAN MICRA (1995-03) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4I S NCVT AUTO is a small, three-door city hatchback, aimed at easy everyday motoring rather than carrying a large family. In the UK used-car market, the Micra is known as a straightforward, compact choice, well suited to town streets, short commutes and drivers who value simple, manageable transport. The automatic gearbox makes this particular Micra appealing to drivers who prefer less effort in stop-start traffic, while its compact size helps with parking. It offers a simpler, more modest alternative to rivals such as the Ford Fiesta, with the Micra’s friendly, practical character and easy-going driving experience being key attractions for first-time or city-based drivers.
