What do you drive?

Hi there, I'm new to this forum. Not sure where to post first but thought this would be a good one.
I have a Nissan Micra Celebration, metallic blue with 16 valve engine. I think it's a K11C, year 2000.
I love Micras, this is my second. I got this one 2 years ago and it was already 10 years old. However, can you believe it only had 10, 000 miles on the clock, and had been garaged since new. I bought it from a trader, but I contacted the original owner and saw all the service records & MOTs were genuine. It belonged to an old man who had only used it once a fortnight to go to the supermarket for 10 years. It now has 40,000 miles on it, but even now when I take it to be serviced, the mechanic can't believe the age and last time checked his computers to ensure the number plate was correct versus the car VIN number, as he said all the parts are new inside.
I was very glad to get this car as I wanted an "old style micra" but I wanted a new one, and I think that's what I got. I have had Fiestas, Metros, and a Fiat Panda and none were anything like as good as my Micras for reliability, not rusting and performance.
I'm having a problem now though, after driving through very wet roads (I think this is why), so I'm hoping to get some advice or answers here.
See you around.

I recently became the owner of a 1.3l K11 which now accompanies my GT86 on the drive.

I have just bought a new Micra k13, having traded in a 2010 k13. The new car is very different from the previous one in the way it moves off from a standstill. The new car needs little or no revs to move and can reverse up an incline with no revs, like a diesel! The previous car would not do either of these. The driveability of the new car is much improved. Both cars manual Teknas.
2014 Micra.
2012 C63 AMG.

I now own a 3 door '01 Mica 1.0S in red....well pinky red with 94,500 miles. Paid £300 for it. Runs nice. New battery yesterday and adjusted the throttle cable. Goes better already. Has bee serviced recently but will do it again in the New Year no doubt.
This is a runabout car I bought so I can keep my pride and joy in the garage.

Car is the same as the pics in the link apart from a set of Cream leather Reacro's.
My wife also drives a 3 door '99 K11 1.3 GX in red. It's dented and has a rusty wing with 114k on the clock but runs as sweet as a nut.

Make a new thread here detailing your prob
https://www.micra.org.uk/forums/k11-general-discussion.22/
And someone should help
Hello everyone and thanks in advance Please help
I completed a test drive in a nissan micra yesterday. The car is a 2018 micra with 40,000 km's on it (live in Victoria Canada) all seemed tight, body in very good shape same with interior.
Was about to buy when......I stopped at my local gas station, who also does repairs on all cars, and spoke with the, repair and maintenance booker, and asked him about the Nissan Micra.
He spoke of the power train and the computer system. Suggesting strongly that coming off the lot new the the Micra is great but they're not a long term purchase, siting 10 years or longer, then, I should look elsewhere. I have dealt with the gas station and this fella for gas and general chat for over 7 years so I can't just discount him
What say you all? Now doubtful............
