NISSAN Micra · photos, packages and modifications

The Micra from Nissan is a great vehicle which is present in the market for thirty years now and an aspect that has contributed a lot in improving its popularity is the high degree of reliability associated with this vehicle. It has been bought forward to compete with the following:

• Ford Fiesta
• Volkswagen Polo

The important point to highlight here is that Micra has got all the features for fighting this competition. It offers a decent space and is equipped with quality features as well. The vehicle presents itself with three levels that are named as:

• entry level Visia
• mid-range Acenta
• range-topping Tekna

The Visia features don't have the inclusion of wheels made up of alloy and the front fog lamp. The expensive Model of Acenta come with wheels that are made up of alloy and are fifteen inches high, the handles are body colored and there is the inclusion of improved features for ensuring safety and automatic headlamps. At the same time there is the addition of roof made up of glass and the option of styling packages is also there because it adds an assertive body kit, different wheels made up of alloy and also spoiler that is mounted on roof is present. It is really bad to mention that the manufacturing quality has shifted from bad to worse as the inside is now depicting a cheap appeal and you see a great abundance of plastic there. The lid of Glove box and the handles of doors are those which are badly affected. It can be said that this vehicle emerges as a great car for driving on the roads of city because of great visibility, light weight steering and easy responding controlling options. The car provides a good degree of comfort and very smooth to handle, but one can't ignore the body rolls.

The vehicle presently is available with two one point two liter 3 cylinder engines of petrol. The entry level engine of seventy nine brake horse power DIG-S engine brings great improvement in power as well as efficiency. No doubt the manufacturing quality is not that great, but this car was successful in securing a decent twenty fourth position in the survey that was conducted by Driver Power, but car obtained a discouraging four rating in the crash test of Euro NCAP.

The car is spacious and you can't expect the rigid dimensions to obstruct the space present inside. There is enough space for accommodating even taller people. Also, the rear seats can be folded for increasing the space.
