NISSAN MICRA 1.4 Activ 3dr (2001)

Best car ever

I don't know why people are still bothering to produce superminis. I think that when the Nissan Micra was created, that really should have been the end of it. If you're ever considering buying a small car; look no further. Honestly, there's no reason to bother with any other car.

Personally what I look for in a car is practicality. And you don't get any more practical than the Micra. It delivers at least 55mpg on average. It's nippy enough to outrun most cars on the motorway. There's plenty of space inside but it's still small enough to park with ease. And it's really really reliable.

OK, there's not a lot of space in the back seats, but I rarely have passengers so frankly I'm not particularly bothered. I really can't think of any way to improve the Micra and it's served me so well over the past few years that I'm gonna give it full marks.
