    New Vancouver Micra owner

    Hey all! I just signed the papers to a new 2016 Gun Metallic Nissan Micra SV. Waiting for them to bring the car from out-of-town now. Can't wait! Hope to see some of you locals around the streets of the Lower Mainland.

    Ha - Vapor, I didn't even notice the thread title myself until I read your post.

    geodude - welcome to the forum! Are you sure you're on the right one (look closely at your thread title)?

    What's the significance of your username - vehicular reference, or GPS hobby reference, or??

    Hahaha! Must have been force of habit — my other car is a Miata, if you haven't guessed by my slip-up.

    Just got the call from the dealer, looks like it should arrive by the end of the week! And in response to your question, Metro, here's a hint...:

    What year Miata?

    I just bought a 1990... piece of junk (cosmetically)! But fun, fun to drive. I got to drive it a little bit before the snow hit here. Now it's away for the winter.

    Haha what a coincidence, mine's a 1990 as well! Also currently hibernating until spring. I hear from my Ontario friends it's harder to find old, rust-free cars on your side of Canadia.

    My u/n is a Pokemon reference, I'm guessing you didn't take part in the Pokemon Go craze over the summer

    Micra = Miata?

    Neat - how many clicks?

    Mine's supposedly never been winter driven (and 216k km on the clock suggests that's probably true). But it's still got rusty floors because the top is shot and it was parked outside = wet carpets = rust! It will need some loving care from my little wire feed welder to pass inspection. It's just generally in poor cosmetic shape, but it runs OK and I got it for 750, so that's not bad.

    You can be forgiven for typing "Miata" when you meant "Micra": one Canadian reviewer compared the base Micra to the Miata in a review...

    The Nissan Micra is a four-door Mazda Miata.
    And then he makes his case for why he thinks so: http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/201...y-lilliputian/

    Ha - I took part in the P. Go craze, but not as a hunter, so I wasn't really paying attention. Lots of walking around with family members, mainly to keep them company while they played.
