Nissan Pixo

Caution with new micra - Indian production plant has build quality issues !!

The most truely concerning thing about this new shape, new design micra is the fact that the uk market is being supplied by the Indian manufactoring plant. I owe a Pixo which has been built there and we have had endles, upon endless problems with the car. Upon complaining to our Nissan dealer, they admitted that a whopping 60% of their 'current service and repair work' was on Pixo cars alone (being built in the new Indian plant) - upon further discussion, the dealer admitted that the Indian plant was somewhat behind a 'quality level' compared to cars built in the Sunderland UK plant. I say this one key comment. Sit in the old Micra (built in the UK) and feel the solid quality and tighness of a firm decent build and then sit in the new Micra - and instantly you will notice a poorer, less solid, plasticy build. Please purchase with caution. Look else where at least; try Kia (good solid cars) Honda, Mazda or at least something truely Japanese. Nissan is in business partnership with 'Renault' (that not many people are aware of) and in my opinion build unreliable r******. Avoid.
