http://nissan.ie/vehicle/micra/grades-and-engines says "1.2L Petrol CVT" (can't post links yet)

It was from Budget, so I assume they use the Irish version of the Micra on Nissan's site. But I do recall feeling some shifting, (with eco mode off, and I remember trying to figure out the speeds in kmph it shifts at) so I really don't know.

It seemed nice and zippy on Ireland's curvy roads, especially with eco mode off. I have a Prius c though, so most cars feel "zippy" to me.

Nissan also says it's rated at 43.5 mpg, which is about what I got.
