My New Micra (Red Alert SV automatic, Hamilton)

[Antruby]

If you had a tripod, or even some place to set your camera on, and then used a long exposure or nighttime setting, I'd bet your nighttime pictures would turn out great.

Thanks AlphaMicra: Hope to try that soon. I have more than one tripod and a nighttime setting.

Antruby: if you get a chance, could you do me a small favour tomorrow?

I'm curious how wide just the glass/mirror portion of the driver's door mirror is at its widest part (horizontal measurement, no diagonals).

I got the impression yesterday that the Micra's mirrors are a little smaller than I'm used to, but I didn't bring my tape measure.

The size is 5 3/4 inches.

Thanks!

Confirmed what I thought I noticed during the test drives: the Micra's mirrors are a little smaller than I'm used to. EG: my Firefly's mirror glass is 6.5 inches. For comparison, a 2009 Civic's mirror is 6.75 inches, and 2002 Camry is also 6.75 inches.

Probably even smaller than the original Micra's mirrors. That minty K10 is looking real good...

Bruces Smart Car mirrors are 6 3/4 inches wide but they are not high like the Micra. High meaning up and down.

Very nice, Antruby.

Plaza phoned and said I can get my new Micra Monday.

I have had my new Micra for two weeks tomorrow.
Got it Monday May 5 th 2014. What a fantastic car. Love the color. Love the car. Today I drove up to 120 kl per hour and the tach was only at 2900. I question the one that said the Micra was loud at 120 kl per hour and was at 3500 RPM. Must not have bin in overdrive.

Or he may have been driving the manual. It revs higher than the automatic in top gear.

Gear ratios: 2015 Nissan Micra transmission, 5-speed & automatic (speed vs RPM)


Good to hear you're still so happy with the car.
