Just bought a 99 T-reg micra 1.3i insperation.

Its got alloys, A/C, PAS, CD Player and other bits.

Anybody owned a micra and had any problems? or anything to look out for?

I used to drive my Mum's MY95 Nissan Micra 1.3 SLX. Generally it was really good apart from a couple of electrical problems. The fusebox for the lights had some sort of shorting problem and also the electronics for the distributor went AWOL.

I had fun in it for quite a few years!

attach a sparkler to the roof and light it before every journey
if your going to drive it like a dodgem car you may as well look like one...

have fun

I use to be a Sales Manager at a local Nissan Dealership and I'm sorry to say, but not that much went wrong with them.

No there's 2 of us - pretend you've chipped the car by turning off the a/c for extra power up hills.

good choice micras dont have the same image of the other hatches like the saxo is a boy racer car and the micra is a shopping trolley (even thought imo they are oth the former). The 1.3 is as fast as the competition, ive seen a few beat vtr at santapod.

an air intake and stright through exhaust can see 85+ bhp at the wheels, not bad power/weight. check out www.micrasportsclub.co.uk for more.

Our garage = UK 22B, MY01 WRX (with all the 'tart' accesories) and a 1990 'G' reg Nissan Micra 1.0LS It's done us proud, was our only car for the first 6 years/65,000 miles and apart from a new clutch, and the xorst rotting, it's been super. Has a pretty easy life now though, strangely we hardly ever choose those keys off the table anymore

I put 100 000 miles on a 95 one. In all those miles it had nothing but standard services and the only time it missed a beat was when dear wifey forgot what the fuel guage was for

Andrew...just out of interest,how much did the car cost you and what mpg do you expect.

Yep.

My first ever car was a Micra N reg - 96, Shape. Purchased in 97.
Nice car, simple to drive, nothing to it.
Was driving to work one day doing 40mph and the engine just stopped.
So I pulled into a layby using the momentum of the car.
Called out the RAC.
Problem - The Cam chain had broke.
Yes thats right, the Cam CHAIN.

The guy at the Nissan dealership said that it was a common fault!!!!
But no other faults after that.
Anyway got rid of it and bought a new Scoob in 2000.
