    Exterior The exteriors will turn your heads and keep an eye on it. Dont let the pictures fool you, the car looks small but it is quite spacious than I10, Swift, Punto and Polo. The car is built with quality and the styling definetely suits all ages. Looks are stunning and women (men too) will surely take this car.The panel gaps are consistent (dont go by review on pre-production cars). The request sensor, intelligent key is quite amazing, am sure lot of thought has gone in to design it. Key to life is no key really suits. The boomerang shape at the roof, controls the wind noise. All colours really (I loved it) suits the Micra. The headlamp looks are nice and the design is dominated by curves.

     

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Engine start/stop button is lovely and no cranks. The dashboard is well laid, feels nice to use as well. The orange backlit, audio arrangements, powerful climate control ac, combination of greige and beige interiors gives comfort and fresh feel. Electric fold mirrors are adjustable and handy. Horn is meek, large windscreen gives good view, front seats are supportive. Steering tilt adjustment quite useful. Interior quality is much better than swift but not in the leagues of Polo or Fabia. Headroom is sufficient in front and back. rear seats with adequate legroom than I10, Swift, Polo and Fabia. Under thigh support is ok with 3 passengers at rear in XV (not sure on others). large rear windows look airy, not claustrophobic like Beat and Swift. boot space is adequate with 220 litres.

     

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The 1.2 litre 3 cylinder engine is so smooth, idling is silent and a perfect mix of agility and refinement. It has enough pep and very good city drive car for bumper to bumper traffic. I am fine with torque and power and found it pleasure driving with friends/family. The gear box is slick, smooth and I found it easier to use. Fuel economy is around 10km/ltr (clocked less than 100 kms in road-newly bought) am sure it will give 14-15 in city and 16-17 in highways.

     

    Ride Quality & Handling Ride and handling is fantastic with excellent suspension - a great boon in city roads/traffic. Over Speed brakers it felt cushiony with 5 people in the car (adequate GC). no bumpiness and no noise/well tuned suspension.

     

    Final Words Very good car with excellent features with nice price tag. I went for Micra after seeing Figo, I10, Ritz, Punto, Polo and Fabia and my mind and heart said yes to Micra.

     

    Areas of improvement Dealer network has to improve for a very good car like this. no driver seat adjustment, lack of rear seat head restraints, small gloveboxes, no bigger size ORVM's, no alloy wheels in XV petrol.
