My nan has the 1.0 version of this (you might not want to hear this) and its never put a foot wrong!

even the 1.2 isn't that slow, autocar tested it at around 10 seconds to 60..twunts expect anybody in a micra to be an OAP...always get some tit driving up your arse.

Yes 160SR has ESP.

It does, and I can confirm it works well

We didn't walk over £125, we walked over the principle.

We went into the dealership, had a look, guy come over, told him we were just looking, we told him we were not sure about buying from then because we've had crap with them in the past, he told us everyone is all new and all the problems are sorted. I asked for a part exchange price for my car as it would determine our budget (at the time), he looked it over said they'd have no problem offering £1000.

It's when he finally sat down to put something on paper and the price dropped to £800. then to £875 after I pushed it. I would of accepted £900, so the garage in-fact lost a sale over £25.

What's worse, while he was dealing with me another potential customer came in to see him, he told them he'd be 10 minutes, when he knew we still had to go for a test drive yet. One we'd been going over the pricing/details for 15 he dropped all interest and gave the impression he wanted to get to his other customer as he knew it was a definate sale... I longer mattered, and that peeved me off even more.

I was just about to come in with - good to see that you are keeping with the Renault theme.
Nissan / Renault Alliance and you have changed your car choice again !

Have to say it sounds like for the better.

Good luck with your search

And if you thought the salesman was not being very attentive you should have told him to go and see his customers and pass you onto another staff member, and given them the deal.
