K10 Micra

[The Lukas]

Now my brother is learning to drive, he has bought a car. It is a 1.0 1990 Nissan Micra with 48000 miles on the clock. Surprisingly fun to drive, pretty slow but nippy. Terrible handling.

But all for £425. No motorways, mostly B roads; does anybody want to guess the average MPG we're getting out of it?

Im not sure what that means.

It's lightweight and low powered. What is hard to understand?

Take a break guys

What car would be better? I thought the same but it's been pretty damn good.

So what MPG is it OP!?

Last time I calculated, it came out as 54mpg. I could not believe it. It's been on average around 50mpg which is much more than I expected.

Nice 100SX. However for pure economy and learning in, the Micra is more effective.

All your observations are true. But you can't say it hasn't got character.

I have very little concern for my car image when I'm commuting. It's economical. Its so bad, its fun! What's not to like?
