Review_Nissan Micra Active XV S

Exterior OK.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Car may not be comfortable for long drive.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Some unusual sound comes when changing gear from higher to 1'st or to reverse gear. When informed to service centre, they said it would remain there.

Ride Quality & Handling Good. However, for long run, this is not comfortable. The vehicle is not ideal for village- roads where roads are not good. In last more than 1 year, I did not get any major handling issues (my runnings are also very less, only once went on long drive).

Final Words The vehicle is good. When AC is started, its speed decreases and hence milage also.

Areas of improvement Having about 1200 cc engine, the vehicle could have been good on village- roads as well provided Ground clearance is more. The unusual sound while changing the gear also needs to be addressed. There should not be a sudden reduction in its speed when AC is switched ON while running. Number of Service centres should be increased and spares should be made available easily.

Fuel economy is OKLesser ground clearance, few service centres, sound when changing gear to 1st, lesser spped with AC
