Nissan Micra

Advantages: The looks and the fuel type is amazing and the insurance group.
Disadvantages: Not that much safety and the comfort.

...Nissan Micra's come in a 1.0 litre hatchback they mostly come in 5 doors or 3 doors. The performance on the road is very nippy, 3/5 also the handling and the ride is quite the same. These Micra's are great insurance group is low fuel is great, on the otherhand the security isnt becuase some micras from 1994-1998 dont have any alarm or anything but ll models have plenty of airbags. The ownership is great buying and selling is easy and no hassle to sell these nippy motors are Quality & reliability many people gave the ownership a 4/5. These 1.0litre micras changed a lot from the 1900's till know there are over 100,000 micras know in the U.K. The looks of a micra is great thats what attracts people to buy these cars. 9/10 people voted that micras are good for first drivers....

Review of Nissan Micra 1.0

NISSAN

Advantages: GOOD PAY
Disadvantages: LONG HOURS

...I have worked for NMUK for 8 years now so I think I am well quialified to talk about Nissan. When I started, Nissan were only building 2 models and the employees at that time knew that it would be hard to go up to a 3 model plant i.e. Almera, Micra and Primera. Well things have not changed it's still hard now. At present Nissan at Sunderland are now making the Note, Primera, Micra and the all new Quashki ( A CROSS OVER CAR 2 WHEEL DRIVE COME 4X4). Nissan now employees around 5000 staff 4500 witch actually build the cars with 15000 people making parts for the factory in the local area. So Nissan is a major employer both directly and indirectly. If Nissan were to close it would have a big impact on the Northeast of England as did the loss of the Pits and the Shipyards. Most of the employees are full time with around 800 temps...

Review of Nissan Motor Manufacturing UK

Benfield Nissan a no no

Advantages: Nice, spacious showroom, friendly sales staff
Disadvantages: Complete lack of after sales service.

...see there was no need to prompt!), and he genuinely seemed interested in making sure I enjoyed the experience. Probably figured an 18 year old guy who could muster up £4000 in cash in an afternoon would be a good customer to hang onto for life. He certainly succeeded in impressing me, right up until the inevitable problems set in. Now I never expect a car to be perfect when it arrives. I mean, 12,000 pieces going together on a production line, its normal to expect a couple of things to be not right. However, my problem was a malfunctioning fuel gauge. It took six attempts to get Benfield to fix it under warranty before I took it to another Nissan Main Dealer who fixed it straight away. Please note that Benfield even managed to blame a guage that fluctuates between full and 1/4 full in three miles on the fact the car had 17" alloys...

1991 Nissan Micra

Advantages: Cheap, Quick, Cost-effiecent
Disadvantages: Looks (based on 1991 model)

...This is a review based on a 988cc 1991 Nissan Micra GS. This car is very very decieving. Part of the deiciving is that the car looks like the back end of a bus, but nevermind its whats underneath that counts. - Engine - If you were to look at the spec's of this car it would be seen as a 988cc car. this alone would be cause for thinking it'd be slow and have a poor accelleration....wrong! I don't have the actual stats, but i have out performed from a starting position a brand new 1.3 Ford Fiesta! This quite a feat from a 10 year old car with a 988cc engine. The top speed i have managed to reach with this car is a astronmoical 110mph, although to the cars credit this was down hill with the wind behind me! Realistically it'll happily cruise at 85-90mph. - Exterior - To be quite honest the car looks like it;s been through...

Review of Nissan Micra 1.0

Nissan note...

Advantages: Good quality build, low fuel consumption...
Disadvantages: None

...I've always preferred a larger car with a straight six, big pot motor, or a V8?always wanted a rear wheel drive vehicle with big interior, couldn't fit in smaller because I'm 6"4' tall, a big luggage compartment and I always felt safe in them?so I drove this type of vehicle since I started to drive a long time ago?then I discovered the Nissan Note? My lady and I decided to look for another car because the big ol' Mercedes was getting a bit tired now, so I pulled into a Nissan dealership and a delightful young lady saw us entering and immediately became our shadow?I asked her what's new and she showed me the Note?looks small I said to her after walking around it a couple of times but I liked the look of the 15' wheels on her and the high rear placement of the lights for safety, front lights looked a little weird though but were well...

Review of Nissan Note 1.6 Automatic

Nissan Skyline GT-R

Advantages: Supersonic Cruise Machine
Disadvantages: Not many

...Here's a car which works with you, and for you, but never in place of you. There's plenty of communication from the chassis, plenty of poke from the 2.6-litre twin-turbo six-cylinder engine, and electronic gizmos which let you have fun but won't allow things to get out of hand...much. Nissan claims the Skyline chassis is the most sophisticated in the world. If your yardstick for measuring sophistication is calibrated in electronic aids, there's no argument. All four wheels help to steer and, sometimes, transmit drive. Normally this latter function is done by the rear pair, but within a thousandth of a second of traction loss being computer-detected, the front wheels take up half the task. How cool is that. Meanwhile the steering is reading your intentions and helping to make them happen. First the rear wheels steer in the opposite...

Review of Nissan Skyline

Nissan Primera

Advantages: Large Boot, nice ride plenty of room
Disadvantages: Turning circle very small.

...I bought my new Primera last July, I have been really pleased with the Service from the garage Glynn Hopkins Colchester. We chose Nissan because we had a Nissan Sunny Coupe which had done 200000 miles and was still going strong, with hardly any rust. It came with extras such as cd changer, alloy wheels. I found that they sorted out the teething problems very well, although the loan car wasn't great, it was in need of a service, I was told on returning it. I have just booked it in with a problem with it losing water, and need to wait five days before a loan car is available, could have more of them, I feel. During the sale, we were treated with respect, and shown all round the car on delivery. we did find the waiting around in the showroom somewhat annoying though one and half hours on one visit. The car runs on, but the only...

Review of Nissan

We can with this Nissan!

Advantages: Excellent build quality, great handling, comfortable, efficient, reliable
Disadvantages: Dull as ditchwater, Model will be replaced in 2006.

...Finally we are rid of our horrid Fiat Punto (see earlier review) and have opted to consolidate the two vehicles (see even earlier Civic review) into one lump of metal. Months of research later, we ignored all we'd read and opted to go and test drive the latest model 1.5 SE five-door Nissan Almera. We loved it so much, we bought it. Six months on (and way over the average mileage in that time!), here's my views of our new baby... Looks Sorry, did I just miss that? It's very much a blink-and-miss it car. Take the new Vauxhall Astra. Then curve it round a bit more. Still missed it? It's likely, as this model from Nissan has hardly set the world alight with it's looks. It's a bog standard hatchback, that's all I can really say about it. Just open your eyes, you might see the odd one on the road.. You'll know them from...

Review of Nissan Almera 1.5 16v Hatchback

Nissan Pixo is a great city car

Advantages: Economy, driving experience, pretty much everything!
Disadvantages: No rev counter (though it wouldn't bother most people!)

...In June this year the dear old Micra which I shared with my dad finally reached the natural end of its life, and we decided to take advantage of the government's scrappage scheme to upgrade to a brand new car. We went in to buy a Micra, but seeing a Pixo on the courtyard we decided one of these would be ideal. They are, in my opinion better looking cars than Micras, almost like a Nissan Note's much prettier and less chunky little sister. As anyone who has shopped for a small car will probably realise, the waiting lists since the scrappage scheme started have been huge. The Nissan Pixo is no exception - we got ours quickly as it just happened that the day we visited the showroom someone had cancelled an order, so we snapped it up. The salesman informed us that these cars are so popular under the scrappage scheme that the wait was...

Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T a review

Advantages: fantastic performance, very reliable, stunning timeless looks, affordable to drive.
Disadvantages: britains speed limits and jelly mould cars getting in my way!

...Well approaching 30yrs old and I decided this year was as good a year as any to have midlife crisis and finally get hold of the car I've always wanted. A Nissan Skyline. After having owned it for six months I thought I'd share my thoughts with other potential buyers of an R33 which is the most popular and more importantly affordable model with my generation so grab a coffee, sit back and see what you think. I've researched into these cars for over a year now and fell in love with them since getting my grubby mitts on one in GranTurismo on the playstation1five years ago and seeing how tuneable it was which is pretty much where everyone else in my generation first had a shot in one hehehe!. That was the extent of my knowledge on them and to be honest is pretty much everyone elses admission of knowledge when I talk to them about it...
