Test Drive Nissan Micra 5 Doors since 2010 Hatchback

Test Drive Nissan Micra: for drivers with character

In Russia, the Nissan Micra is associated exclusively with a female representative sitting behind her. Maybe this is a myth? In the last warm days of the Babiy summer, I was fortunate enough to find out what this baby is capable of, and to get acquainted with the new Connect multimedia system.
The appearance of the Micra 2007 model year is familiar to many. However, the new generation can be called only version 2002. Then the changes were revolutionary. The angular series K11 acquired round forms in retro-style, and the entire form of the body became similar to half a juicy apple. Five years later, the model experienced a light restyling. Lights, central racks and salon were subject to change.
 
I got a test version with a two-color chocolate-creamy interior. Gentle-beige seats are more like home round puffs. The surface of them is almost smooth, which is strongly knocked out of the general trend of automakers to put the driver as deep in the chair. The soft lines of the external design found the use in the cabin circles, ovals and the waves neatly accommodated on the dashboard and doors.
 
On the central console attracts the attention of the touch color screen. It will be nice to meet, this is part of the new Nissan Connect systems with navigation, communication on a mobile phone via Bluetooth, USB input. The system is already fully Russified, the Moscow map is already loaded into the GPS. The navigation system management is intuitive, however, not always the GPS card has time for the driver. For example, the Congress on the doubleler, the system traveled only after the first turn from it. However, the simplicity of control cannot but bribe and forgives such small flaws.
The dimensions of the microns, both outside and inside will not allow me to debunk the myth about the exclusive femininity of the car. It is absolutely clear that in the cabin there is enough space for three slim girls with the mountains of paper bags after a very good shopping. From the family with the seedle and the mother-in-law will make only seedlings and mother-in-law as a driver. In this case, the boxes with the seedle are successfully completed in the back of the car with a folded second number of seats. At their disposal will be 584 liters. In the usual condition, 371 liters fit in the trunk.
Of the comfort features in Micra, there are heating seats, two-zone climates control. Heating mirrors was not observed. At the same time there are rear parking sensors and three headrests behind a pleasant care for the safety of second-row passengers.
Overview of the windows back and forth is quite informative. But the side mirrors are small. In principle, the spherical shape of the mirror helps to see the whole world through the keyhole, but this world is very distorted. I could get used to it only on the second day behind the wheel of Micra.
By the way about driving. In the taming of this baby, the driver helps the electric drive of the steering wheel. No complaints arose to the latter. All rebuildings and maneuvers were made of MICRY easily and easily. Acceleration up to 100 km / h in a Japanese woman takes 11 seconds, however, it is quite enough for urban conditions of this indicator. At a speed of 120 km / h, MICRA still listens to the steering wheel, but above to develop the speed of desire did not occur.
 
Yes, and with an 88th power engine in the left row you will not train. Do not perceive so far on our roads as cars with the right at least some voices. Returning home by the familiar route with the familiar maneuvers in the course of unexpected obstacles from cars with a lower than I have speed, with the inclusion of all associated warning signals, I noticed on the tail of the middle class car, presumably with a two-liter engine that moved from my right to Left mirror, repeating all my maneuvers on the course of the same obstacles. And in all his actions, an explicit desire to catch up with Micra was traced. No, not to overtake, namely, at least to catch up in the stream. He managed only on a direct free plot. The current situation gave me a reason to be glad for my baby.
The suspension is quite comfortable, on the bumps the car does not jump, the small irregularities of the suspension extinguish, and the strikes from the passage of lying police are not felt. At least their power is expected.
Maneuverability has always been a plus of compact cars, but in advance to give way to a small car with an inclusive rotation signal, the participants of the movement were in no hurry. The driver will have to constantly show his character. I think it does not inspire the desires of the owner to park in a small hole in front of the boutique, open the door and playfully throw out elegant legs in autumn boots, proudly stand up and throw the nearest diverse keys and, as if to the Swiss, remind over his shoulder: Yes, and more with my baby!
