subject: Why Your First Car Should Be A Nissan Micra [print this page] Youre young, youre hip, youre following the trends when youre not setting them yourself. Shouldnt you be driving a car that matches your style? Indeed you should. But youre not earning the big bucks just yet, so can you afford it? Nissan says you can. Its compact city slicker Micra wont cost you an arm or a leg, yet it will afford you all the creature comforts youve been dreaming of. There are endless reasons why the Nissan Micra should top your list of first car buys. Here are just a few
Cost. The Nissan Micra retails from as little as just over R100k. Thats as affordable as it gets for a top quality entry-level vehicle. Nissan will also be able to provide you with a tailor-made payment plan to fit into your monthly budget. And you wont only save on instalments, youll also save on running costs. With ultra low fuel economy figures such as 5.2L/100km on the 1.2L petrol model, you can travel over 20km on one litre of fuel. And filling up less frequently will translate into major savings on your fuel budget.
Size. If youre a first time car buyer youre likely also new to driving and though the thought of a curb-climbing 4x4 might seem appealing, it might prove too big a challenge to navigate through narrow streets and congested traffic. This is where the Nissan Micras modest dimensions prove to be a benefit. Its class-leading 9.3m turning circle along with great visibility thanks to a wide windscreen and sloping hood, make parking an absolute pleasure.
Features. Though you might expect the bare basics in the Micras price bracket, youll be pleasantly surprised by its full house of model dependent comfort features. Air conditioning lets you adjust the interior temperature to accommodate your seasonal requirements while a top quality audio system allows you to choose the soundtrack to your journey. The Nissan Micra also comes equipped with a variety of active and passive safety features including multiple airbags, ABS and EBD so you can enjoy added peace of mind as you drive.
Choice. The Nissan Micra is available in 5 models including three 1.2L petrol models with different spec levels, a 1.5L diesel derivative and a powerful 1.5L petrol Tekna version. Plus, not only is the trendy Micra available in a range of bold and bright colours like Tangerine and Active Blue, but Nissan also offers a range of accessories to makes it possible for you to personalise your hatch.
