Summary for 2006 Nissan Micra Hatchback 1.6 160SR 5dr
This 2006 Nissan Micra Hatchback 1.6 160SR 5dr is offered to you directly from the original owners from new.
This car has covered 48554 miles from new. The full HPI check showed no record of any major accidents, as can be seen (for free) on the clear HPI report. This car also comes with a history, and a valid V5 document. An independent RAC Body and Mechanical inspection has been conducted, for which the full details can be accessed from the RAC report beneath the photos.
Please note that the Road Tax on this particular car needs to be paid at a Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency office and NOT at a Post Office. The Road Tax cost is the same. Your nearest DVLA office can be found at http://www.dvla.gov.uk/contactus/localoffices. The subsequent re-taxation can be carried out at your local post Office.
The Nissan Micra set a new standard for small cars when it was launched in early 2003, and it's still one of the best around today. The looks may not be to everyone's taste but it's well equipped, cheap to run and it's cracking value too. Light steering and good visibility make it easy to drive and park. It may not have the youthful image of rivals like the Mazda 2 or Ford Fiesta but it's still a good small car that's hassle-free and affordable to own. Nissan added a bit of spice to the Micra range with the launch of the 160SR but despite the name it doesn't actually have 160bhp - instead it uses a 1.6-litre engine with 110bhp which delivers warm rather than hot hatch performance. It's still enjoyable to drive though and it's easy to exploit the power for maximum fun.
The Micra is ideal for someone who has just passed their test or is learning to drive and it's easy to manoeuvre nature makes it a favourite with more mature owners. The light steering makes it a doddle to park while a snappy gearchange and responsive controls mean it can be good fun too. Town drivers will appreciate the tight turning circle though, while the excellent ride smoothes out road imperfections with ease.
The interior is exceptionally roomy and the tall shape means there's loads of headroom, although taller adult passengers may find the back a little bit of a squeeze. Legroom is adequate in both the front seats, while rear space is not bad considering the Micras small dimensions plus the cabin feels light and airy overall.
The boot is far from cavernous but it has a wide opening and can cope with a weekly shop with its 251 litres of space. The rear seats slide by 200mm to provide extra boot space (although rear legroom disappears as a result) and they split and fold too, allowing you to carry bulkier items. Up front there are loads of little cubby holes and cleverly, the base of the front passenger seats folds upwards to reveal a nifty storage box.
The dashboard is clear, logical and attractive. All the main controls are grouped in the centre of the dash and are easy to reach. It's easy to find a comfortable driving position, thanks to an adjustable steering wheel and driver's seat.
A four-star score in the Euro NCAP crash tests is a respectable score and good levels of safety equipment including four airbags are included.
The 160SR model has air-coniditioning, electric power steering, tilt-adjustable steering wheel, front electric windows, front map reading lights, remote central locking with anti-hijack feature, anti-lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution, driver and passenger airbags, three 3-point rear seatbelts, Isofix child seat mounting points, electric rear tailgate release, pollen filter and a six-CD in-dash changer.
