Is the MPG a bit optimistic?

F the Micra, this is cheaper to insure. :grin:

I hear the doors are sometimes a bit trouble some, the shut lines on it are to die for though.

Some say he only eats curry and that he's responsible for all the forum circle conspiracies.  All I know is, I don't have the first idea of who the new owner is  :laugh: :laugh:

50MPG while having its tits driven off would be certain.

Even with the cambelt a tooth out during my tenure IIRC.

Corking little cars (even when bent).

Cheers people. Thought I was in luck when I nearly got hit by some b!tch in a HUGE Land Cruser while on the phone.  :rolleyes: With kids in the car.  :rolleyes:

But she stopped in time (only at about 35mph so they would have been fine but the bull bars would have ended the Micra.).

But deffo gonna try get one, this Micra is awful. What do they map like?

I've got one and I bloody love it! They map up to around 100bhp, sometimes more depending on the map.

I've not seen amazing MPG on mine though.. As it's a 45 litre tank, I've worked this out as meaning whatever I get from one full tank, I divide it by 10 to get a rough MPG.. And the most I've had out of a tank is about 520. That was taking it quite easy too!

They handle well if you have them set up right too. Interiors are bloody lovely too and have a very sporty look for such a cheap car!


Avoid the SDI like the plague.
