That was an interesting comparison. Didn't see that coming.
Positively glowing:
The bottom line: The Micra provided the most engaging and fun driving experience I’ve had in at least 12 months, and that includes all the 400+ horsepower cars that have graced my driveway over the same timeframe.
However, the ever-present complaint about gearing:
Fifth gear in the manual box is too short for highway usage and bumps up fuel consumption a tad.
I wonder if Nissan's listening.
