First drive: Nissan Micra 1.2 Tekna

The last Nissan Micra's big chunky bumpers and lines looked they had been styled with a crayon rather than a designer's sharpest 3H pencil, but the early supermini sold like it was the hottest cake in the shop.

The latest version, Nissan says, is part of an ever growing group of cars described as 'global'. This means that it will be sold in the same format and style in all markets around the world in which it is offered.
