Faults:
Nothing.
Haven't had to do a single thing to it.
Seats have started to wear a small bit, but it does have 177,650 Km on the clock.
General servicing costs (spark plugs, air filter, oil and fluids). Service I do myself.
General Comments:
This is a review of the Nissan March A# (Japanese Spec Micra)
The car is the most reliable and comfortable car I have ever owned, even friends cars are not nearly as reliable.
Even though I use this car on a track, as well as on the road, still nothing has gone wrong with it.
With the 1.3 twin cam engine, possibly slightly modified before coming in from Japan, it does 0-100 km/h in 6.7 seconds. And it keeps accelerating the same throughout the gears.
Road driving, it is great on fuel, getting around 45 MPG.
A great all round car, I would recommend to anybody who wants a cheap car to buy and run, and if you need it, the parts are very cheap as there are so many of these cars on the road.

I'm glad you've had such a good experience with your Micra. I've been Nissan mad since I was a little girl (no idea why!) and have always wanted a Primera Sports +. However, having only just learned to drive at the age of 27 I decided for my first car I'd have a Micra.
I picked one up really cheap and my partner's an MOT tester so thankfully it was thoroughly checked out before I bought it. It might not be the best car in the world, but it's extremely economical and comfortable to drive. I love it!
