Nissan Micra, 2006, Kaarina

Nissan Micra 1.2, year 2006 – formerly a driving school car, so there’s a brake pedal for the front passenger too! 😂 Inspected on 17/08/2026!

Here we have a car where the front passenger can actually intervene in the driving.

It’s a 2006 Nissan Micra with a 1.2 petrol engine and a respectable 297,000 km on the clock. This one previously served as a driving school car, and it still has a pedal on the passenger side as a reminder.

So it’s the perfect car, for example, if someone in the family is learning to drive and your nerves are not quite enough for shouting at the handbrake alone. 😅 Of course, make sure the learner permit paperwork is in order, and then just:
“clutch… ACCELERATE… NOT THAT MUCH ACCELERATION!”

Of course, by 2026 the Micra is not trying to pretend it’s a new car anymore. The exterior shows life, mileage and Finnish winters. There is rust on the rear arches, the rims show signs of use, and one mirror has received a bit of creative Finnish engineering care over the years. But in this price range, the main thing is not what the car looks like on Instagram, but whether it gets from point A to point B – and this one has at least practised that job quite a few times.

Among the plus points you’ll find e.g.:

• 1.2 petrol engine, 65 hp – you won’t accidentally lose your licence in the first acceleration

• formerly a driving school car

• extra pedal on the front passenger side

• manual air conditioning

• Northern / cold climate equipment

• electric windows

• ABS

• radio + CD player – for Spotify you’ll need some creativity

• two keys

• two sets of tyres

• inspected on 17/08/2026

• five doors, so the whole family can come along to watch the driving lesson

This is not a museum piece or a Sunday car. This is an honest 20-year-old Micra with almost 300,000 km of life experience and probably more driving lessons behind it than the average Finnish driving instructor.

So if you’re looking for a cheap daily driver, a first car, or want to teach a younger family member to drive in a car where you also have the final say on braking, this could be a very suitable example.

Nissan Micra – 297,000 km, two pedal positions and at least one good story for the next owner. 😂
