Count yourself lucky Sutherlandm. When I had an accident in the car before my 1.8T (Punto Sporting) I was also given a Micra (older shape).
A micra can be lived with.............
But this one was SALMON PINK!!!!

i got a city rover when my old escort was in for repair..............BAD BAD BAD BAD car......the worst in fact!
sutherlandm, u got that beautiful interior to look forward to, creak creak. [] But I've driven one and they are not bad you know considering its a 1.2 (if thats the one you're getting). Pretty nifty for a small size engine, but I cant seen you agreeing coming from a R32.
] But I've driven one and they are not bad you know considering its a 1.2 (if thats the one you're getting). Pretty nifty for a small size engine, but I cant seen you agreeing coming from a R32.How can one even think of comparing a Micra to a R32? Surely the idea is just to have something to get around in until your car is fixed, not to provide an alternative, or am I missing something? What are you going to get that's comparable to an R32 unless it's another R32?
D?j? vecu! I had the same monstrosity when my car went in for repair - Ugh, does not even come close to describing the feeling! I treated it like dirt; revving that tiny engine to death. I didn?t have Salmon Pink [my sincere sympathises btw]; I had a vile purple coloured one. I'll tell you what though; I've never been treated so nicely on the road though - people giving me way, letting me out.... So there are a few commiserations... I?ll tell you what; you are going to appreciate your R in a whole different way once you get it back. Best of luck!

It's no JUST a Micra.
It's an OLD shape 52 reg thing with a paint strippered bonnet.
At least it's silver.
I'm not touching it until I return is as it may kill me.
Nissan forgot to fit brakes.

Well I think the dealer should at least provide you with a roadworthy car. Sorry, I thought you meant it was the new one which has had some reasonable reviews. Mind you, the old one got some good reviews too - when it was new. [^]
You're going to be without your R32 for more than 2 weeks? Ouch!

I'm driving a great Nissan Almeira 1.5S until the Golf MK V arrives. I've put up with it for 5 weeks and another 4 weeks to go. I HATE it - The interior is horrible and majorily basic and I miss the blue lights [^]. Also getting used to driving a petrol again after the TDI. Having to scream the hell out of it to get anywhere when attempting to overtake on the motorway or go up a hill.

I'm claiming off my insurance who will then recover it (I hope!) from the other blokes.
I tried direct off his insurance and was left on hold for 20+ minutes each time. Don't have time for that much mucking about!
I'll just live with it (although a letter has gone to my insurers moaning about it!) and hide the damn thing in my underground car park!
