So we needed a second car since my daughter got her license, she will be sharing my wife's Sonata. I started by looking at some used cars but got more and more depressed. So then the low sticker price on the Micra caught my eye and I went and took one for a test drive. My first test car was a Micra SV automatic which drove pretty well, I was immediately impressed by the suspension. The automatic though felt a little sluggish to me so I then tried out a Manual SV and wow it's a totally different beast! Too bad they didn't borrow the 6-speed manual tranny from the Versa/Sentra because I feel it could really use the extra gear. So I ordered a blue Micra S, don't really need AC anyways and since I will be the only one driving it power mirrors are really not a necessity for me. And since I am leasing the car for 3 years I am not planning any mods except maybe some 16 inch rims and tires. The dealer threw in a new set of winter tires so I can mount those on the stock rims. Oh and I got free Sherlock, turns out my wife knows the financial director at the dealer!
