Nissan Micra Review
The new Nissan Micra was launched in the UK on the 15th January 2003 with the David Lynch directed TV commercial 'Do you speak Micra?' The advertisement introduced a whole new vocabulary to describe the innovative new generation Micra including words such as: Spafe (spontaneous + safe), Simpology (simple + technology), Smig (small + big), Aggrendly (aggressive + friendly), Thractical (thrilling + practical), Luxurable (luxurious + affordable) and Compacious (compact + spacious).
The new Micra range includes both petrol and diesel variants, we tested the 1.5 dCi 82 SX priced at £11,295. Find out if the words diesel and supermini equal Refomical (refined + economical) or comical.
