You've raised some valid points, I considered a micra because: Excellent MPG 1.3 has a respectable 0-60 for such a small engine so would pull me, missus and kid ok small so easy to park (you wouldn't believe how awkward it is sometimes trying to park a volvo 850 in some of these extremely...

Without a doubt! Thats wot I mean. Thats why I was looking for a car like the micra coz the 1.3 is not too bad on 0-60 compared to other cars of similar size and price and is very economical. I'm spending £20 and getting around 80 miles for that in my volvo. Don't know what this is in mpg but...

Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy a Micra within the next few weeks. I know I want a K11 but not sure on what options I've got in terms of engines etc. I would like some spec info on the K11 micras for example what engines and bhp are available and any particular models to avoid or go for...
