I loved the entire driving experience, the car was light on the foot and drives with one foot only. Coming from a Manual that is a simply amazing experience and I simply loved it. The exterior is done really well and lights up my garage. I plan to use it as my personal vehicle.Read MoreWas this review helpful?YesNo
- Body Weight and Build Quality is bestNissan Micra, which I bought and used last 6 years and I am sharing my experience that Micra was incredible with Body weight and build quality, I ride the same 1,10,000 km and still there is no noise at all. I am using Diesel fuel option variant and still I am getting 23 km per litre mileage. that also very useful for a city and long drive. Now am confused to change my car. I did like to change my Micra. Smooth handling, more space than other cars, Dealer treat you very well and resolve you all queries. For the interior, it is as good as the exteriors. While driving you can feel the power of this hatchback. It's not the ultimate Nissan but yes it's "The NISSAN'.Fuel consumption is ok good mileage in city or highway. comfortable in drive and seat also comfortable to seat, easily adjust your driving seat, headlight, and tail lights are looking not so much good and One must choose this car if he has an average size family. A perfect engine with smart features enables and make this car pretty awesome. I find utility, comfort, economy, durability, and external shape. This car is spacious but it's not a mostly use.Nissan Micra is a good option if someone is planning to buy a car in the range of 4Lakh-7Lakh.Varied color options are also available to choose the best for you.Read MoreWas this review helpful?YesNo

- Nissan Micra XV Premium DieselI have the 2011 model Micra diesel variant top end XV premium model. Superb car in the hatchback segment. Very easy and smooth to handle even on high speeds. I can drive my Micra even for 1000 km. Very comfortable to drive. Once I drove 700 km in a day. The top speed was 154 kmph but it can reach 175 kmph. The car sticks to the road even on high speed up to 130 kmph. No vibration or engine sound inside the car. It feels like a petrol vehicle in pickup. By just pressing the accelerator it keeps on going smoothly without any stress in the engine. At the high speed, the sound may be felt. It feels like more number of gear are required but up to 160 kmph the car goes on smoothly. My Micra has been driven more than 165000 km but still, it's performing like a new vehicle. Pros: 1. Handling. 2. Travel comfort. 3. High speed. 4. Vehicle stability and control in normal speed. 5. Mileage.(18 kmpl - 19 kmpl). But not specified mileage 23.08 kmpl. But its good mileage. 6. Auto AC. 7. Driver Airbag. 8. Came with CD player and speakers. 9. Steering control. 10. Auto folding rear view mirror. Cons: 1. No ABS . 2. Service cost (Expensive for middle class). 3. No steering mount control and Bluetooth connectivity. 4. No Passenger Airbag. 5. No AMT transmission in diesel variant.Read MoreWas this review helpful?YesNo
- Unsatisfied with the serviceHi My Nissan Micra XL has some engine issue. It gets heated up after approximately 20 kms. I gave it at Nissan showroom in Gandhi Nagar, Gujarat. After a quick look, they told me that the problem was with the fan. They didn't even examine the car properly. They told me they will try a new fan and charge me only if the car's condition improves. But even after spending 7000 rupees the problem is exactly the same. In fact worse. They didn't even fit the bonnet properly.... wheel alignment is gone.....steering is vibrating. I had told them the same over the phone. Also, have e-mailed them...but they didn't even bother to reply my mail. They have completely failed. Now am fed up of this car. It has been 10 months am not able to use it. It's a waste. I will never recommend Nissan to anyone.Read MoreWas this review helpful?YesNo
