The NISSAN MICRA (2003-10) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.2 16V 65 VISIA is a small five-door city car, designed for easy everyday motoring rather than long-distance luxury. Its compact size makes parking and narrow streets less stressful, while the rear doors and useful cabin make it more practical than many two-door city cars. In the UK used market, it is an affordable alternative to a Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa or Toyota Yaris. The 1.2-litre petrol engine and straightforward Visia trim suit new drivers, commuters and small households wanting simple, economical transport. The Micra is easy to manoeuvre and has a friendly, distinctive rounded design; its modest power is best matched to town journeys, although it can handle occasional trips farther afield.
