Nissan Micra

The micra is Nissans smallest car on the road. This car is sold all over the world(except USA) from 1982 until around 1992, it now appears available anywhere is north America.

The original box shaped Micra is also known as a March or Micra K10. In 1992-93, Nissan replaced the original box-shaped Micra with a completely new "curvy" model, including new engines and fuel injection, 16 value twin cam and aluminium power plants with capacities of 1.0 and 1.3 litres. Come 1996 a slightly revised range was introduced to the Nissan Micra range. 1997 saw Nissan add a new March K11 to the line-up. They also gave Micra a face lift which took another year to reach Europe.

1998 saw Nissan launch a diesel engine powered by a 1.5 litre Peugeot unit, along with a restyled front end which with its bigger head lights gives the car a more aggressive look and less cute look. The rear bumper have also been given a makeover, and rubber strips have been added down each side.
