Nissan Micra 160SR

Nissanmicra160sr The cute Nissan Micra gets more power at last, 3 years after its launch. Don’t be fooled by the 160 SR badge: this new Micra develops 110bhp ‘only’ and not 160, this figure recalling the engine capacity, 1600cc.

The SR letters standing for Street Racing, the sporty Micra will find serious competitors on its way: the Citroen C2 VTS, Mini Cooper, Toyota Yaris 1.5 T-Sport and Ford Fiesta Zetec-S.

The Nissan seems very good -but not class leading- on performance, accelerating from 0 to 60mph in 9.8 seconds and reaching 112mph. It returns 42.8mpg on the combined cycle.

Along with the power increase, the Micra 160SR gets stiffer suspensions, an ESP stability system, a new front spoiler, dark tinted headlamps, graphite finished 16’’alloys, aluminium pedals, white dials, side curtain airbags, a 6-speaker CD system and an air-conditionning.

Priced £9,995, the 3-door Micra 160SR is even cheaper than the Yaris T-Sport. The 5-door version costs £10,645. With an extra £375, you can get a sunroof, while the heated 2-tone leather seats are charged £850. A real bargain.

Thank you for your compliment, but apparently, you need some more information:
- This is an english-speaking weblog
