Where the old Micra split opinion with its oddball styling, this new car was designed to appeal to a global audience. It has lost some of its charm in the process - and inside feels a little cheap. It still gets a lot of the basics right, with a cabin roomy enough for five adults, and a reasonably sized boot. Unfortunately, it's not particularly fun to drive and the cheapest models do without some necessary equipment. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
i am in love with this car...it is a nice first car...its fun on the drive!!
its just a nice car
what a review....it's an awesome car, despite what he's going on about. It handles the road quite well.
You are the only one... and I mean it that... you show and give to us, that small but important detail, for some of us, for the back seats when they are almost disappear, for extra cargo loading space!! Thank you for that!! Not from luck you are in the 🔝 !!
I drove one of these when it freshly came off the show floor seeing as my dads Pathfinder went into servicing but couldn't drive because of the manual transmission. Got to admit, that was one of the best cars i've driven. I like the fact that it looks completely different to the older model which makes it look a lot more luxurious.
Congrats to Nissan... they managed to make new car look already 10 years old.
I loved the little copper bronze Micra that I learned to drive in...mind you, most cars feel amazing when you first start out driving!!
I bought it brand new. Actually I bought 2 of them. One of them I returned to the dealer for a Nissan Note. I needed the extra space. The fuel economy of the Micra is brilliant. 5.9-6.3 in city, while rushing the traffic lights! Great car. The only down side as i said is the soft suspension.
I take delivery of my new Micra next month. I was happy with the car after a test drive and a good look around in the showroom. I have ordered the Shiro model with Nissan Connect and six speakers in addition to the Shiro package. It has all the toys one needs for comfort and convenience. The Micra is meant to be a simple, easy to drive car that is cheap to run. I think it accomplshes that aim pretty well.
Last week I had to choose between a Kia Picanto, Rio, i20, i30, Soul and a Micra. I put them all on paper and the best came out to be the Micra. For 12490 Euros I payed I got the highest level: the Tekna pack: SatNav GPS and all extras. Also i got the CVT automatic, which in the review Mat forgot to say that it has a sport mode button. It feels a bit soft but I plan to change to a firmer suspension setup. I can say it is perfect. The steering is really pointy not as he described. Hly recommended
Why do men always compare mini cars to sport ones? Some people dont care about AC. Or split seats. Its a car, it should do what its made to do. Some people dont like luxuries.
But many people do
looks like you got another micra at the turning circle the good one.
Matt Watson ! The car reviewer I like the most reviewing the first car I wanna get. Well I most definitely didn't see this one coming 😂
I just purchased a near new 2019 Nissan Micra, Canada's version looks exactly the same. The Micra was no longer sold in Canada in 2020, so we will never see the new model Micra. I love the vehicle, though I wish the rear seats folded away like this model....they must have eliminated that as a cost cutting measure.......The styling is not much to write home about, but my vehicle now stands out to the new vehicles that are being produced that would not look out of place in a Star Wars movie.....busy interiors, busy exteriors with fake plastic chrome everywhere.....in comparison I find the Micra's dull interior calming.....its a joy to drive....
I have had mine for a few days now and so far I am happy with it. I bought the Shiro version, so it has a good spec but I am undecided about the black & white dashboard and side panels. The 1.2 engine is quite lively, and if you keep it in the optimum power band it whizzes along nicely. Handling isn't the cars strongest point, but then I use it in the city so isn't so much of an issue. I was originally concerned by the fact it is built in India, but the build quality appears to be okay so far.
I'm excited to get my little Micra in January (though I hope it arrives sooner). I just ordered it today. :D
I was going to get a Kia Rio 3, but problems with work have made me think twice so I'm getting the base spec Visia Micra with A/C on a 12 month lease until I can save for hte Rio in cash. Its not the best car in the word when I tried it, but for £10,000 if bought new, you get AC and Bluetooth handsfree + music with a 1.2L engine. Makes it much better value than a Ford or a Vauxhall.
I remember when this car was everywhere in my country. I would normally see one or more k13s everyday.
omg, we have this car at home and I just found out, you can flip the back seats TWO times! Didn't know that! I need to try it tomorrow.
Its a happy car and i love it
That's a awesome car I want to get one!
I recently bought a micra. I like it. Everyone here seems so hate it lol
Fuel consumption: 5.8l/100km cvt auto mostly city, and I have a hard foot. Space in back is excellent and I am 183 cm and 108kg. The thing I really hate are the glove boxes. Are just useless. The top one should open the other way and you actually cannot see inside, and the down one if so small and feels cheap. Rest of the car is rock solid. Also they had only Ivory interior which I don't like. If I wanted black I had to wait 4 months.
@WheelieMacBin I am going to check out the car mabe by the end of the week.
But would only consider the sat nav option, but surely there must be a 12v socket? Is there a usb that could be used to charge one's phone. Crazy really.
Amazing 🤩 style to explain
I got 2012 Auto CVT.
175 wheels give a very smooth ride even at 90mph on the motorway 👌 (so I was told)
Service and parts are cheap.
Getting 43 MPG city.
Which one is better, this one or mitsubishi mirage, or kia new picanto?
What model is best to get?/ the basic or the more up from it?/
I've had my 2004 Micra now for 19 years.. it's so nippy.. not street cred, it passes MOT every year, even the mechanic says it's a brilliant car it just goes on and on forever.. 😂
.... I also liked VERY VERY much the single dial button control ... I curvy styled nice car ... I bet ladies will prefer it ... lots for a les 4000 mm lenght city car ...

the BEST car. my first and only car of 12 years!
Hey, isn´t that car at 1:49 another Micra, but the previous version?
It's cheap cheap cheap but surprisingly the trashed up one at work still goes fine!
I'm thinking of buying a 2010 Nissan Wingroad. Are they any review on it?
did you get it used?
The Micra Was My Mom's First Car Now She Has A 2015 Gtr
the difference between the quality of materials itself and the quality of assembly. sometimes, cheap materialials could be fited well so it doesn't rattle etc.
How can the build quality feel "built to last" in the first part of the review, and then feel "cheap and nasty" towards the end?
"Built to last" is about durability and "cheap and nasty" is about quality of the materials
it is fun to drive... but there are some issues, that I will share with you: *the brakes feel like an on off switch (no middle feeling) *the steering column is right next to your left foot, which is uncovered and you can touch with your feet (and feel as you steer) * sudden move can make the wheel feel hard (due to the electric motor) I suggest for fun a firmer car... but please take a test drive and pay attention to details. Fuel econ in town is about 4.9 on highway 5.2 (i have no idea why)
The old micra was retro and sexy this one is........Horrid to say the least
i really like this car :) so cute and snuggly :3
this is definately going to be my 1st car... :)
here in malta it is sold with the following as basics..
Driver's and passenger's airbag
Curtain airbags
Front power windows
Power windows
Air conditioning
Side airbags
ESP
Remote central lock
CD with bluetooth and AUX jack
seems good to me :) not to mention, it's only round 8000 EUR :)
Saw a black one on the road today. It looked awesome!
I like the styling of the Micra on both inside and outside more than the Hyundai i20.
Drove one, liked it. Enough said
Oh and i definitely agree with the steering. Its hilarious but fun.
Nissan build quality is very good
Which one do you think is better? This micra, or the All New KIA Picanto? Thanks
I got this car but no CIGARETTE LIGHTER what can I do? please help me!! please
its only select models that get the Touch Screen system. You'd probably have to step up to the Tekna Trim to get it.
more reviews please :D
Here in Thailand we have a Nissan March. It looks quite similar to the Micra. Are they the same?
Same car
I suggest a firmer car because it have really soft suspension, but also is uncomfortable (you can feel every wave in the tarmac like a sport car). As I said in my first comment it needs firmer suspension setup. It will not spoil the comfort, because this is already spoiled.
If you paid more attention you would've noticed that the rattling sound came from him unfolding the seat, not the door.
Also the older version was quite unsafe..
I'd drive the k11 any day over these..
I'm falling in love
Not micra
But Matt ...... good looking Brit ....rare to find
Why no auomatic transmision review?
Suryo Pras coz automatics is for laziest bastards
Suryo Pras because you don't want a 81HP CVT, there's alot of drivetrain loss with a CVT so your only putting 55-76HP to the ground, get a Stick Micra
Lewis Nelson 😂😂😂😂😂
OMG that was me in my Nissan micra the silver one, that’s u in the blue 2010 micra
Muito lindo!
Could you review VW Up! ?
I'd rate this car review channel in the top ten of crappy ones. Reviews channels like this are basically advertisers for car manufacturers.
No mention of the worst features of this car. ( I run a used 2012 k13 1.5L 5 speed manual Micra)
- The idiotic gearing.
: 1st gear is that low you can go into 2nd after 1 car length, thus 1st gear is extremely sensitive and possibly a serious issue for learners (bunny-hopping), but you can't take off in 2nd.
: In 5th (overdrive), the revs are 3000 @ 100kph, that's at least 500 too high.
: In 4th @ 80 kph the revs again are 3000...at least 500 too high.
- Trip computer is unreliable, and may have even been designed that way. A full tank shows you have 750Ks worth of travel, but that changes when you drop to under half a tank ( this is done with consistent driving throughout the whole tank, noticed on many tank fulls)
: The dumbest thing about the trip computer - when the tank reaches 50k worth of fuel left, the computer no longer gives you a reading of how many Ks you have left, and yet that's when you need the info the most.
- You have to remove the inlet manifold to replace the spark plugs (and coil packs), thus for a mechanic to do this (just the plugs) may cost you up to 3 times as much.
- No real-time water temp gauge: possibly one of the most important gauges for a car, and Nissan have chosen to not have one. Instead, they give you a pointless anniversary and birthday reminder.
While I love my little Junebug ( had her for a few months now), I'd never recommend this model to anyone, and would never buy another Nissan.
And fail and disliked for this channel and will never watch another of their productions.
Tiene frenos ABS?
car in india doesn't have the touch screen navigation and steering ctrl is it
Nissan MICRA to be proud of
Maor Malik embarassed more like
Whoooaaaa that’s actually Matt Watson?!?!!?!!
different back seat model..it is good
@donking2000000 - To be honest I never looked for a 12v socket as I have no need to charge a mobile phone on the move, or plug in a sat nav, as the version I have on order includes the built-in sat nav. Maybe there is a 'smokers pack' option that would include a socket?
My main criteria when looking at a new car, I currently drive a 2011 Nissan Note diesel, was, reliability, build quality, equipment, fuel economy, general running costs, model longevity and insurance grouping.
1:48
Yooka: Micraception!
the micra (march) in Mexico doesn't get the same interior trim :(
Aw look at how young and cute Matt looks. He's shch a gentleman.
I have the same car it not picking what might be the problem
1:48 old Micra lol
1:48 Hai old friend
at 02:10 he's saying: "look at this: you're waggling about and nothing really seams to happen" ... well I might say that my micra (maybe the steering wheel settings are different- on top version(tekna)) is quite pointy... that waggling he done there is enough to sudden change lanes. sorry for my english :)
I am gonna switch from Hyundai i10 2009 to micra 2012, hopfully it is gonna be reliable car
Everything is well build except the optional CVT auto gearbox. Build quality fron the Indian factory is good though
Wow dude i don't get rear split fold seat anymore in Thailand
he didnt describe the steering, he showed it. you can't really argue there... the proof is on the video.
The Micra does have climate control. But you have to specifically ask for climate control to keep the temperature, otherwise you just get standard, manual air conditioning. :)
In South America we got the Micra with a bigger 1.6L engine, so much better!
Ive got that spec and I DO have a 12v charge point..so there. I can agree with the handling, but all in all its not so bad since most of my 'high speed' crusing is done on the motorway. I like the climate control and the infrequent haul ups at the petrol pumps too. Good video though.
what happened in 2:48?
You reviewed so many cars, do you even pay the total amount of a car for e.g Nissan Note for £14,000
you didn't cover the engine sizes you can get
It's called nissan versa here in the U.S. It is very economical..and a very smooth ride compare to other small cars. It is also available as a sedan.
It is for first time drivers and old people. It is a thrift car for people with economy and cheap insurance in mind.
does the micra have a spare wheel in the boot?
hyylo probably not space for ot
It does ...six years later....
its a great car
1:50 both Micra's heh
@uzipo1 Both are excellent cars, Nissan have a history of reliability as a company. I have the Nissan Qashqai and it's fantastic. If you're looking for a more wider car go for the qashqai.
The 1st & 2nd gen Micras were great; made in Japan with great design, reliability and value - I owned 2 of each. Great little cars. Then the asian currency crisis happened and Nissan got bought out by Fiat/Renault. As a result the 3rd Gen Micra was an abysmal ugly euro-box with door handles that slopped about and seats that felt like sitting on a cheap ikea sofa. Forum discussions by Nissan insiders confirmed that the main focus of the 3rd gen was cost reduction - and boy did it show. The real proof of the pudding was that the 3rd gen was never sold in Japan & Taiwan - they kept on selling the much better 2nd gen. The 4th gen shown here looks even worse. At least the new 5th gen looks a bit better.
cool
Nissan to be proud of
maormal embarassed*
if you dont want to pay so much money your mechanic best car
Wouldn't mind one to replace my Almera.
The last point Matt makes about the lack of a 12v socket is interesting as I need one for my dashcam (unless I get it hard wired).
@71TheAgente This!
Is that mat watson from carwow?
I way preferred the styling of the mk2/k11 (1993-2003). It was the spiritual successor to the mini
@Dafnewport Put together well but the materials used feel tacky.
1:48 is that the old micra?
Yeah a K12. The one he's showing was the K13 generation. Good little car.
Comfortable car
Great hairstyle
1:49 o hai there the old one...
