Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Great review as usual. Pictures are really nice (read as they should be for a review of this quality). I've a feeling this car will gain popularity as they go. Only question mark is their service support. Hope that improves. |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Fantastic review there GTO. A Five star rating for each of the teambhp review. "Lock the car and the mirrors fold in automatically". That's a neat feature. Can make me lazier |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Excellent review GTO! As usual, you have covered everything. Does it lock automatically if you move away from the vehicle with the key fob? Quote:
May be the battery is required only for the lock/unlock using the remote buttons? So if the remote battery drains out, we can use the skelton key to physically unlock the door and still use the keyless start? | |

| ![]() OK, so you have the Key Fob in your pocket, sit in, press the button to start, and if you get down from the car without switching off, the Engine still remains ON - even if you move away. What if in that situation somebody tries driving the car. Will it move? |

| ![]() Excellent review, as always. This could give Nissan a head-start into the Indian market in the real sense. They seem to have got it just about right, ticking all the boxes. This seems like a typical jack-of-all-trades kind of car. |

The Micra will be enough to keep Nissan's 20 dealers busy though. Quote:
Cars like the Micra improve the equipment benchmarks not only for their own segment, but even those right above. I can tell you that the Hyundai i20 has had every C segment car maker reworking the equipment list list for their next launch. The Polo 3 pot has better low end torque; thus, it offers way superior driveability within the city. In terms of performance, the Polo engine scores over that of the Micra. The only advantage that the Micra engine has (vis a vis the Polo petrol) is refinement. Quote:

Simply put : Even if the key's battery dies out, you can still start the engine. Quote:

Surely will, Extreme Torque. The 2nd gear is too tall, and feels "flat" at certain rpms. Last edited by GTO : 30th June 2010 at 12:14. | |||||||||||||

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Not just boring, the car looks terrible in black IMO. Liked the maroon. Actually, I don't think the styling is something I like at all. Very interesting dashboard layout though. Overall, great review again GTO. Comprehensive and informative as usual. |

The Chevrolet Beat, Ford Figo (especially) and the new WagonR have ensured that every new hatchback will be competitively priced. Only one person benefits from fierce competition : I, the customer ![]() The central locking switch on the driver's control panel (where the 4 power window buttons are placed). You need to press this button to lock all doors. Merely locking the drivers door (from the switch next to the door handle) will lock only the driver's door (unlike in other cars). Quote:

2. Micra is more comfortable than the Ritz 3. Figo dynamics are class-leading (along with the Punto). Quote:

No. But neither am I the target market for this car. The engine & driving experience matter more to me than features. You could say I'm more the Swift (chuckability + sweet engine) and Punto (solid, stable, steering to die for) kind of guy. Last edited by GTO : 30th June 2010 at 12:39. | |||||||||||||

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Well detailed review. GTO rocks. I really liked the interior design compared to its competitors. As GTO said, only bright colors look nice on this design. Anyhow we can expect the promising NISSAN effect, i'm sure it will pull a good share from NRI segment as a second car or ladies car. |

i20 asta = 5,75,000 So they've priced it at around a lac lesser than the current market favourite, the i20. What more do you get for a lac from the i20? More space, more features (alloys, foglamps, usb port, music controls on steering, etc) and hyundai reliability. The pricing is closer to swift territory. With the new swift coming soon, I dont think this has any big market shaking factor other than the keyless entry. I dont think it will do that well. |

| ![]() Thanks GTO. Awesome review. ![]() I'm a great fan of Nissan, I always loved the TIDA and Sunny (I can’t re collect the US name though) over a Corolla though Maxima is still my favorite Nissan. Hope they would launch the Maxima not Ultima in India. I started dreaming of a Punto after reading your review and it was you confirmed when I was in confusion to go for it against a used Innova. Thanks a lot now I drive Sliver Punto EIV MJD Emotion pack and loving every bit of it. I have liked everything in Micra except lack of remote boot release and alloy wheels and of course the MRFs.

| ![]() Great review, GTO! ![]() I can't decide whether I like the Micra's looks or not until I see it in person but so far I leaning towards the negative pole. Feature wise, no complaints. Engine wise, I guess it'll suffice but the enthusiast in us will always want more ![]() btw, contrary to most I thought black looked nice on the Micra!!! |
