Is the Nissan Micra good value with the scrappage allowance?

Is the Nissan Micra good value now that there is a €4,000 allowance for scrappage?

Hi John,

To be honest - no. The current Micra is a long way from Nissan's best effort so I think the €4k trade in bonus could be put to much better use elsewhere. Perhaps consider trading up to a Pulsar? Or better yet, wait a year. Nissan has an all-new Micra coming out next year and judging from the Sway concept car it showed last week at the Geneva Motor Show, it could well be a cracker.
