The NISSAN MICRA (2003-10) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.5 DCI 86 INITIA is a compact diesel hatchback for affordable motoring. In the UK city-car and supermini market, its small footprint and easy parking suit urban streets, though rear-seat access is limited by the three-door body. This used Nissan Micra is a simple runabout. Commuters, first-time buyers and couples may value this economical runabout, especially for regular journeys. Its diesel engine suits drivers seeking low running costs, while the three-door body is less handy for child seats or rear passengers. Compared with roomier superminis, the Micra favours easy parking over space for town driving.
