We have driven nissan micras for the past 10 years.We wonder if the drive for productivity and profit have undermined the quality for which they were renowned.We bought a new one in July of this year and returned it a month latter as unsafe.The car was worked on with out our permission returned covered in bird shit.The courtesy car hijacked back.
Following a complaint to the MDwe were offered £50 pounds.I would have prefered our money back.Complaints and reports to the RAC and the Royal Society for the Protection of Accidents.Every major newspaper in the country and the local trading standards have proved fruitless.

Buyer Beware New Way Lemon Poem
Buyer Beware

Shift Expectations
Shaft the Consumer
Its the car lottery
Kill the consumer game.

This little ditty on a business card.Brought a heart attack to one of the organisers of the recent Southampton Job Fairs.Much discussion and investigation with the involvement of the local security officer.Who asked for the poetry to be handed over.
Quite clearly a loss of humour on national poetry day does not suggest a happy future for school leavers and job seekers.But the fact that car manufacturers are free to make up what ever rules they see fit.Is not given any consideration.

My hearty congratulations to the Birmingham FOE and associated bodies at the NEC.
