  • Road Test: Nissan Micra C+C (2005-)

    RELIABILITY AND QUALITY RATING:

    The C+C is made alongside the conventional Micra hatchback in Nissan's factory in Sunderland, which has a very good reputation for turning out well-built, reliable vehicles.

    Unlike its similarly topped rivals, which have their roofs brought in from external suppliers and added later, the whole thing is made in the same place, in a dedicated unit set up by roof specialists Karmann. The basic car and roof are even painted together, ensuring a perfect colour match.

    The cars seen so far seem very well constructed, with good-quality materials and a high level of craftsmanship. Nissan says that its UK engineering centre at Cranfield, which developed the car, paid particular attention to water-tightness, so there's no nasty leaks.

    The only doubts are over the reliability of the keyless entry/ignition system; this has been prone to problems in the Micra hatchback, though should be debugged by now.
