1. Good on Insurance
2. Cracking Engines
3. Reliable
4. Nippy for their small engine size
5. Unique
6. SO much fun beating a corsa on acceleration (Not street racing though, just on acceleration up to the legal limit)
7. Excellent fuel consumption!
8. Modding is more interesting as it's probablt never been done before or maybe just a couple of times!
9. They have great character (K10s and 11's anyway)
10. Because I've got one!!!!

Normally i would put, nice handling for what it is, but my car was literally in with the sheep yesterday as i went skidding off a corner into a field, luckily car was ok as was i and it reversed out. (Thank god for the dry weather!) However i suspect that was me being stupid and driving to fast for the conditions on an unfamiliar road, didn't realise how steep the corner was till to late so instead of trying to make the turn i just went for all out braking... 
Though back on topic, get a micra because:
- Unless you have visibly modded it, probably won't get broken into or nicked, no one expects decent ICE in a granny car
- When your at traffic lights people go easy 'cos its a micra' and lose out
- Good economy
- Reliable
- Looks, i quite like the shape (K11)

LOL! Only when they're unaware!...i have to compete with 200sx, scoobys and such like.... :laugh: just got fully comp for £148...nice!
i am on my 7th micra,
1.they are soo easy to work on
2.cheap to fix and repair with loads in scrap yards for parts
3.they have a rally sport blood line which means there is lots of ACTUAL performance parts unlike most cars
4.they never die, they will rust before the engine stops most of the time
5.they are full of potental, plenty of easy to replace parts i changed the struts on my car took exactly 6 min with the car just parked normally.
6.actually not too bad for space
7.alot of stuff is transferable from other nissans, making it even easier to repair
8.they are more poplular and hold their value better because of fuel prices, i cant get a micra k11 for under £100 they are still worth it
9.you can really embaress people in them, people think so low of micras that they never see them coming
10.generally a great car, very little faults and reliable, reasonable for what you get, and fun, easy to park and easy to drive.
get a micra, i have had loads, and i have driven and worked on loads of other cars, and nothing compares to the micra.

- more solid and less plasticky interiors than most small cars of equivalent age
- great selection of colours
- my MOT work yesterday cost £21
- the sunroof opens right up, unlike many cars
- its fast
- friends are always commenting on what good condition its in, and how their L reg Fiesta / Corsa etc was scrapped a couple of years ago.
