    Jalopnik readers' thoughts on the Micra

    Overall, the consensus is that its a nice little car, especially for the money. The main gripe seems to be about the lower than average fuel economy.

    What does Oppo think of the 2015 Nissan Micra?

    Neat.

    As for the fuel economy comments, I suspect that's a case of people not understanding the change from 2-cycle to 5-cycle ratings. Too bad nobody posted a link to 2015 Micra fuel economy/mileage test: ecodriving a 5-speed and automatic in Montreal

    Ha! The ignorance is strong with some Jalop commenters:

    if it was 4-wheel drum brakes, that's a dealbreaker.
    Seriously? Who thinks you can still buy a car with 4-wheel drums?

    I once owned a 1960's era Pontiac sedan the size of Prince Edward Island that had 4-wheel drum brakes, but it must have been one of the last...

    Yeah, I got a laugh out of that one too. I think its safe to say some Jalopnik readers aren't exactly the sharpest crayons in the box.
