1.2 12v 80 Acenta CVT Auto 5dr Hatchback

Nippy little run around, wife loves it, now we have it I wish we had bought another Honda Jazz

The cvt transmission is not as good as the Honda Jazz cvt, The Micra must be a different system to the Honda, at 30 mph it shunts about you can feel it and notice the rpm fluctuates unlike the Jazz which was a seamless transmission, I am unable to understand why my average speed is shown as 23mph after making a long run on a motorway at 60/70 mph. storage space is limited and I really miss the Honda's magic seats. I think it is overrated as a 5 seater not enough room in the back for 3 adults.The automatic lights and wipers are ok and the speed limiter and cruise control are worth having to avoid problems with the Traffic Taliban but you must remember that the speed limiter is ok going uphill and on the level but the speed will increase when going downhill so an audible signal would be a bonus to the flashing warning light. So far the engine is ok and no unusual noises from the three pots, I don't see many of these models on the road so maybe I should have spent more time going to other dealerships before buying it, so why is it not as popular as other so called city cars.
