| DRIVING RATING: |
 |
The Micra C+C is impressively low on scuttle shake, even when driven hard over rough surfaces with the roof down (thanks to a "dynamic damper", apparently, as well as stronger side sills, added cross-bracing and other structural reinforcements).
As with the hatch, handling is predictable and safe, without feeling too numb or stodgy; Nissan has refined its electrically assisted power steering, so it feels less floaty and vague than earlier Micra hatchbacks.
All the controls are well laid-out, with instruments clear and easy to use, and all-round visibility is good. Parking should be a breeze, and the turning circle is tight for cheeky city manoeuvres.
Taller drivers, however, may not lose the sensation of having a roof bar in front of their foreheads: the roof and top of the windscreen is quite low-set, and the front seats positioned relatively high. The seats are a tiny bit lower than those of the hatchback, but not low enough for a sporty feel, either; their range of adjustment is limited, and they won't go far back enough for the really long-legged to get comfortable.
