“There are better alternatives available, but if you’re after a small family car that’s easy to drive and attractively priced, the Nissan Micra might be worth a look.”

“Be in no doubt, the racy looking N-Sport model is not quite the warm hatch the marketers want you to believe.”

“The Micra is easy to drive and reasonably affordable to buy and run. However, it’s a little too far off the pace in a variety of other areas to trouble the class-leaders.”

“It’s mission accomplished with the new Nissan Micra. The unpredictable product pendulum in Tokyo has swung back to interesting again – and that’s surely cause for celebration. We can safely recommend it once more.”

“The Nissan Micra has made a welcome return to form, shedding its dowdy image to become a fun, stylish and desirable supermini.” (Ben Custard)

“The gearbox is a pleasant one, and places the Micra well for emissions and running costs if the rise in automatic supermini demand arrives as Nissan has predicted.”

Score: 7.9 / 10
“The drivetrain in the 0.9-litre model is clumsy from a standstill, but this is a major improvement on the fourth-generation Nissan Micra, with styling and safety kit being the key strengths.”

“Nissan clearly wants to attract a younger crowd with this new-look Micra, but they forgot to send it to the health farm before it was dispatched to the plastic surgeon and the make-up artist.” (Chris Evans)

“The Nissan Micra is dressed to impress, but an unfinished feel to the drivetrain kills its chances at class honours.”

“The Nissan Micra is a huge improvement over its predecessor. It has a stylish design, smart-looking interior, and is stuffed with every imaginable safety gizmo. Unfortunately, it lags behind the competition in a number of key areas, especially practicality and comfort, and the jittery low-speed ride could be a turn-off.”

“Even the most basic Micra comes with lane departure warning, lane keep assistance and auto emergency braking with pedestrian detection – gizmos that aren’t often standard even on cars from the class above. Weirdly, though, there is no standard air conditioning or alloy wheels.”

“If Nissan’s aim was to build a car that is comprehensively better than its predecessor it can count the new Micra as a job well done. However, despite improvements across the board it still falls short of being exceptional, which represents something of a problem against rivals such as the Ford Fiesta and Skoda Fabia.”

“The Nissan Micra is not the best car in its class – the Ford Fiesta, VW Polo and SEAT Ibiza are all very good indeed – but it drives well, comes with clever driver assistance tech and has a distinctive look.”
