Nissan Micra
Right now, the Nissan Micra lives in the classifieds, not the showroom – a reality check for anyone expecting to find a new one at their local dealer. Six used units up for grabs, spanning R79,900 to R144,950, paints a clear picture: this is a B-segment hatch for those chasing value, not badge snobbery. It rubs shoulders with the Suzuki Swift, VW Polo Vivo, and Toyota Agya, all gunning for the same urban rands. You get a choice between a 1.2 petrol and a 1.5 diesel, both offered with either a manual or a lazy semi-auto. Most sellers are hanging onto their Micras until they can squeeze out close to R134,245, so don’t expect to walk away with a steal—unless you’re sharp-eyed and quick on the draw. Two of the six are 1.2 Active Visia models, both hovering near R130k, but the single 1.5 dCi Acenta at R104,500 is where things get interesting for anyone chewing through kilometres on Gauteng’s highways. These aren’t fresh-out-the-box cars—year models run from 2012 to 2020, and the average odometer sits at a chunky 136,408 km. Compared to a Polo Vivo, the Micra feels featherweight and a bit more nimble in tight city spots—think Sandton parking garages—but you trade some big-road composure. That diesel, on paper at least, promises running costs that could make a real dent in your monthly fuel bill if you pack smart. If you’re willing to live with higher mileage and yesterday’s infotainment, there’s real affordability here, and for most of us, that matters.
Nissan
Nissan’s place in the South African car scene is a curious one. It’s not chasing the cutthroat budget crowd, but you won’t catch anyone calling it premium either. What Nissan does well is offer options for the buyers everyone else seems to forget — the folks who need a bakkie that won’t complain about Monday jobs in Midrand, or a starter SUV that doesn’t break the bank in Benoni. With 250 used models on the market, from a wallet-friendly R64,500 to a punchy R769,900 and a median at R219,500, you’re looking at a brand that actually covers the real-world spectrum of SA motoring. Not a single new car in sight, though. It’s a symptom of Nissan’s current silence on the new-model front — so punters are trading what’s already out there, and who can blame them? The NP200 is the crowd-pleaser here, with 58 examples running between R84,900 and R264,900. It’s what the NP200 should have been from the start — a no-nonsense, recognizable workhorse you can spot outside any Joburg tile shop. The Navara, stretching to R769,900, wants to play in the same sandpit as Ranger and Hilux, but it needs to offer more than just a different badge if it hopes to convince anyone. Magnite starts at R188,500, so if you pack smart, you’re in a compact SUV for less than many rivals ask for a hatch. Qashqai and X-Trail mop up the upper end, but SUVs are the clear favourite here, with petrol still king. Nissan’s real win is the sheer mix across price points — and for South Africans hunting honest value, that matters.
