1997 Nissan Micra Vibe 1.0 16v twin cam from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Fastest, reliable, cheap to insure car
Faults:
Just needed a new battery a couple of weeks ago, which I was surprised lasted that long, as it was the original battery, and the car does not get used much.
Apart from that, nothing.
General Comments:
A really good, fast, reliable, cheap to insure car.
I have read on this site that the top speed is about 110 miles per hour. Can somebody can confirm that? That would be great. I would not be surprised if it could do that with its 16 valve twin cam engine.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

They are really good car and fast for a 1 litre engine. What more could you ask for?

Listen man, I saw what some guy wrote the other day, he was well out of order. Micras are the best cars for beginners, I should know as I have had two. They were and are tremendous little motors, not like Citroen, Fiat.
Great car, brilliant, good on insurance (group 3).
One more thing - Micra's rule!!!
My eldest son has just bought the 1998 model, good lad! Great car survey.

I think 100 mph is more likely, but most car speedos over-read by about 10% anyway so it might indicate 110.
These are the best cheapo hatches IMO.
