Used 2017 Nissan Micra for sale nationwide

The Nissan Micra has been with us since 1983, and there have been five generations of the car. The 2017 Nissan Micra represents the fifth and final generation, and it’s a thoroughly decent car, doing a reasonable job in every single area. However, it doesn’t excel in any single one, and in a class that’s as fiercely competitive as the supermini class, where there are so many great cars, each of which gives you something a little different from the last, the Micra doesn’t have that USP that makes you want it over the others. If you can find a great deal on one, though, there’s no reason why you shouldn't go for it.

Strengths:

Affordable as a used car
Low insurance premiums
Lots of safety kit

Weaknesses:

Slow with the early entry-level engine
Rather tight on rear space
Generally outgunned by lots of rivals

Is the 2017 Nissan Micra better than the 2017 Ford Fiesta?

The Micra does a solid job in every single area, but it doesn’t excel in any single one of them. In most areas, the same is true of the Fiesta: in the areas of quality, practicality, ergonomics, reliability, and equipment, it’s merely average. When it comes to the driving experience, though, the Fiesta is absolutely brilliant, with peppy engines and a ride and handling balance that borders on perfection. If that’s what you’re after, then that USP instantly gives you a reason to buy the Fiesta. And it’s that USP that the Micra is lacking.
