  Wintonsworld - Nissan Micra
Nissan has made a big effort to provide interior storage, and boasts that even the glove box has 12.8 litres of load space.
Nissan also claims to have solved a traditional problem with superminis, which often either provide boot space at the expense of legroom in the back, or vice-versa.
The Micra, to be built at the Sunderland plant, is available with three new petrol engines –; 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4 litres, all with 16 valves, and drive-by-wire electronic throttles.

  Nissan Motor Manufacturing (UK) Ltd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nissan Motor Manufacturing (UK) Ltd, or NMUK is a car manufacturing plant in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, United Kingdom.
NMUK is located in the Washington area of Sunderland, in a triangular area of land between the A19, the A1231 Sunderland Highway, and Washington Road.
Nissan argues that as a result of the single-union agreement, its workforce is much more flexible than at other plants, and it points to the fact that not a single minute has been lost to industrial disputes at the factory.

 New Nissan Micra C+C - Micra Cabriolet - Nissan Dealers - UK Car Broker Deals - Nissan Micra Cabriolet
In common with all European Micra's, Micra C+C will be built at Sunderland so Karmann has established a small production facility within NMUK where the hardtop modules will be fitted to the Micra platforms.
The roof line, dictated by the steeply raked windscreen, is 110mm lower than on the conventional car while it is also 90mm longer overall: the extra length is all to the rear of the car, to create the room needed to stow the hardtop behind the rear +2 seats.
Micra C+C, which represents a €150 million investment, will be available with either the recently enhanced 65kW (88hp) 1.4-litre petrol engine or the newly developed 81kW (110hp) 1.6 16 valve twin cam petrol unit as powers the potent new Micra 160SR.

Nissan's Technology Centre in Cranfield, England, was involved in the design and development from its earliest stages and the result is a compact car with clearly European character and catering to European tastes in dynamic performance and specification.
Micra is $1 Billion Investment for Nissan UK The Micra was the third all-new model introduced to the Sunderland plant in six years - a pace unlikely to be matched by any other European vehicle manufacturer.
Micra's 'bubble-shape' body was designed from the outset to provide a safe cocoon for occupants - it has a high rigidity structure with high levels of impact absorption, reinforced A- pillar and roof and side door beams.

Micra, designed in both Japan and Europe and to be built at Nissan's Sunderland plant in the UK, combines a dramatic new look with clever design and intelligent, easy-to-use technology.
New Micra's compact exterior dimensions – a positive boon in crowded cities such as Paris – belie a 72mm increase in wheelbase that offers more room for passengers and their luggage, and is amongst the most spacious vehicles in the compact sector.
The Micra C+C – which stands for Coupe + Convertible – is designed for people who like to express their personalities and combines the pleasures of open top motoring with the security, utility, winter comfort and emotional appeal of a hard top coupe.

 Euro NCAP - For safer cars | Nissan Micra
The Micra suffered a modest amount of deformation and intrusion to its body during the frontal impact and, despite the airbag, the driver hit his head and chest on the steering wheel.
Warning labels were fixed permanently to the sun visors and met Euro NCAP’s requirements by warning of serious injury or even death if a child were placed in a rear-facing restraint on the front passenger seat opposite an airbag.
Nissan has made efforts to improve pedestrian protection.

 Nissan Micra R with 265 bhp fully race-prepared engine :: car.kak.net ::
While a standard Micra has 140 mm from the bottom of the sill to the ground at the front and 160 mm at the rear, the sportier R has closed the gap significantly to 100 mm and 110 mm.
The engineers behind the Micra R are the first to admit that this machine hasn’t been built to shave the last few tenths of a second from a lap time.
When Nissan elected to return to the BTCC with its Primera in 1997, it chose RML to run its factory team and its faith was rewarded with two championship titles in 1998 and the 1999 drivers’, teams’ and manufacturers’ crowns.

 Nissan Malta
For the driver, the Micra is lively but effortless, compact enough to be an easily handled, easily parked town car, with excellent visibility and powerful and refined enough for long drives with four people and their luggage.
The Micra was always a small car with a large number of big car features - making it attractive to a broad range of buyers from young single working owners to older, maybe even retired couples with no children in the household.
The Micra includes, in particular, a style and equipment for the younger female buyer, perhaps with young children, perhaps using the Micra as a family's second car.

 Nissan Micra makes a comeback - Motoring - CARSguide
Micra's 1.4-litre DOHC four cylinder engine is good for 65kW of power at 5200rpm and 128Nm of torque at 3200rpm.
Nissan is not saying whether the manual will be a five or a six-speeder, but we'd be surprised if it turned out to be a six.
Micra was designed with ease of use and manoeuvrability in mind, with a chassis designed to be agile, a responsive 1.4-litre engine and tight turning circle of under 9.0 metres.

Nissan s’est alors tourné vers l’équipementier allemand spécialisé Karmann, qui venait de terminer la mise au point de la Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet du cousin Renault.
Dans ces deux domaines, la Micra CC tire magnifiquement bien son épingle du jeu, en se dotant d'un toit en verre et en annonçant une contenance de malle de 255 litres, presqu'autant qu'une Clio, en formule cabriolet à 457 litres, presqu'autant que la C6, en formule coupé.
Comme tous les cabriolets, il a été nécessaire de rigidifier la structure et la Micra CC a subi de sérieuses retouches pour demeurer conforme aux exigences de Nissan en matière de sécurité.

 Nissan's Micra
Driven was the range-topping Micra Super S, a 3-door hatch which has exactly the same 1.3 litre engine as every other Micra, but gets added goodies like alloy wheels, comprehensive instrumentation, all-disc brakes, colour-coded body mouldings and driving lights.
Micra has an affinity with city traffic that makes it both reassuring and pleasant to drive as an urban runabout, returning an average fuel consumption on test of 7.2L/100km (39mpg), which improved on the open highway to 6.5L/100 (44mpg).
Its first birthday facelift gave Micra a new outlook on life, but there was no need to make any changes to its mechanical details; Nissan obviously does not believe in trying to fix that which is not broken.

15 Jun 2005: The latest chapter in the Micra story is set to open with the arrival of the Micra C+C coupe/convertible which was designed and engineered in the UK and will be built here, too.
But the Micra C+C has another trick up its well-tailored sleeve - a C-VIEW® glass roof that allows the elements to be enjoyed even in the depths of winter, a first in its class.
Micra C+C is the only coupe/convertible in its class to have this feature which allows the owner to enjoy the feeling of open air motoring at all times no matter how the weather is behaving," said Brian Carolin, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Nissan Europe.

 Nissan Micra 1.0 - Review - The girly guide to the Micra
The shape of the Micra has changed dramatically this year, gone is any resemblance to the picture shown on Ciao and a new 'sleeker' version has appeared which reminds me of a Beetle, the car not the insect.
The Micra does lack in safety features, in fact there are none, not even an airbag on the driver's side which I was quite annoyed about to be honest.
All in all and to quote the bumper sticker 'I love my Micra', it is a very girly car but it has all the ingredients to be a blokey car too, if they can get their friends to stop taking the mickey long enough.....

 2008 Nissan Micra: High-Res Image Gallery
Nissan might have overlooked yesterday to add images to the 2008 Micra’s press release but here at Carscoop we don’t like leaving loose ends so we spent 5 minutes of our life to dig them out this morning.
Too bad it wasn’t worth it… Just like in 2005 when Nissan revised the current Micra for the first time, changes are so subtle that you’ll need to be a Micramaniac to spot them.
We’ve added the press release after the jump but for those of you that want to hear it from us, the '08 Micra is distinguished by subtle chrome touches, darkened headlamp surrounds and flened ‘B’ pillars on the outside and new materials and colors along with a new audio system inside.

 Nissan Micra 350SR | Features | 4car | channel4.com
For the basic ingredients you'll need a standard Nissan Micra 1.4 SX and the 3.5-litre V6 engine normally used in the Murano cross-over.
Finally, dress the Micra with wide arches, deep bumpers, extra air intakes and a striking colour scheme and voila, you have transformed your Nissan Micra 1.4 SX into the Nissan Micra 350SR.
The Micra 350SR started life as a concept car to celebrate Nissan's racing heritage, but reached road-going reality when Nissan's Japanese design director decided he wanted one to drive around in.

 Car Talk Bulletin Boards: Nissan Micra
CAR magazine (UK car magazine) was recently driving a Nissan March (what the Micra is badged in Japan) in San Francisco and photographed it against a Pathfinder Armada (for the non-US posters, that's Nissan's full-sized SUV in the States).
Personally, I love mini-cars and would love to be able to fit in those little spaces on the street that aren't quite big enough for a whole car.
The Scion XA is the closest thing to a Micra sold in America (just a lot uglier) unless you count the Mini, which is too expensive to qualify.
