Dead Kia = Micra rental = Darin drives a Micra again
Attachment 3287
The last 3 Micras I've seen in my immediate neck of the woods have been rentals. 2 of them were being rented by friends while their cars were in the shop - including the one pictured above.
The last 3 I've seen have all been grey SV's like this one, which my friend rented in Ottawa because her 5 year-old Kia's check-engine light came on, and it wouldn't go faster than 40 km/h!
Bad luck for her! Good luck for me -- I got a chance to take it for a spin this weekend. It was nice to refresh my Micra memory.
That's the first time I've been behind the wheel since summer last year when Nissan loaned me a base S for a couple of weeks.

Nissan LOVES selling to fleets
Thread revival!
This chart recently came out that shows how many cars Nissan sells to rental fleets in the U.S.:

Look at all those Versas!! No wonder it's the best-selling car in its segment in the States! 35% of total deliveries went into fleets! 38,000 fleet Versas in less than a year -- that's more than 4x the number of all Micras sold in Canada in 2017.
Nissan loves fleet sales:

According to Polk/IHS Automotive, of the top 10 rental vehicles to enter fleets in 2017, four of them were Nissans. The following numbers are good through the end of October:

I wish we had Canadian numbers for the Micra.
