The Nissan Micra has won the ‘Car of the Year’ at the 2018 FirstCar awards. The Nissan Micra has historically been a popular choice for learner drivers and first time buyers because it's affordable, compact and practical. The new generation Nissan Micra is more exciting than ever before, with a bold look and packed full of technology ideal for young new drivers for whom connectivity is important. It's not just the connectivity and thrilling look that makes the Micra stand out, it is powered by a range of efficient and responsive engines that inspire a confident and fun drive, making it a great choice for anyone who's just passed their driving test.
FirstCar aims to encourage learner drivers while they prepare for their driving test and supports young drivers to make informed decisions after they gain their licence. With road-safety education at the forefront of the agenda for FirstCar, Micra delivers plenty of safety equipment and driver aids such as Intelligent Emergency Braking with pedestrian recognition, Intelligent Lane Intervention, Lane Departure Warning and High Beam Assist as standard.
David Motton, FirstCar editor and chairman of the judging panel, said: "You couldn't want for a better first car than the Micra. With low insurance group ratings and a range of efficient engines, the Nissan is affordable to run. It's also equipped with the kind of safety features you'd expect of a much bigger and more expensive car. It's not just a safe and sensible choice. With a huge range of interior and exterior finishes, new drivers can really express themselves when specifying the car."
Alex Smith, Managing Director of Nissan GB commented, “The Micra clearly ticks plenty of boxes for learner and young drivers. With advanced driver assistance systems as standard, over 100 personalisation combinations, the unique BOSE Personal sound system and low tax and fuel costs, it’s clear why Micra has been and will continue to be a logical and fun choice for younger drivers.”
With emissions as low as 85g/km, fuel economy of up to 88.3 mpg and prices starting from £12,400, the new Micra is unsurprisingly popular with younger drivers and represents a perfect balance of urban performance and low running costs.With the majority of new drivers have grown up in a world of technology at their fingertips, the new Nissan Micra is perfect for those seeking a comfortable yet adventurous drive with technology integrated across all areas of the car.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent.

Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed.
