If you want something that says Made in Britain — but you also want it to actually work — then you're going to need something Japanese. Which is why this Nissan Micra exists. It's built here, but screwed together with the sort of reliability that means it won't immediately fall apart the first time it rains. Now, let's be honest. The Micra isn't very micro anymore. In fact, it's about as micro as my waistline after Christmas. But that's the point — it's grown up. You can sling in your kids, your shopping, your dog, or even that suspiciously large Ikea flat-pack you swore would fit in. And if it doesn't? Drop the seats and suddenly the boot's about the size of Wales. As for the spec — this one's an Acenta. That means it sits bang in the middle of the range. So, you get all the things you actually need — alloys, air con, cruise control, USB sockets to charge your phone, and airbags everywhere. You don't get the nonsense that you'll fiddle with once, hate, and then never use again. Which is a good thing, frankly. And here's the kicker: you're not just getting the car. You're getting a shiny, advisory-free MOT, a fresh service, and 12 months of warranty that covers both parts and labour. Free. As in: you don't have to pay a single penny extra. Plus, you even get two keys — which, believe me, is rarer than spotting a sober student in Wetherspoons. So yes, it's a Micra. But it's a Micra that's actually useful.
