    no, i wont change my mind, i have already paid the reserve fee for the swift, i like the march, but is very bad quality in general, is a shame because i really like it, on paper is the best car of it class, at least here.
    this is a great forum yes, thats why when in near future despite not having the march any longer, i will continue reading and helping other members whenever i can.

    i have developed friendship with the chief mechanic at the dealer.
    if another problem appears i can ask him about this and share here.
    or also share solution for some other issues that can appear, or like i did when i installed led lights in the interior, or the exhaust tip.

    I thought it bit odd that somone would continue to contribute to a forum for a car they didnt own, and sold to buy a different brand. I would have thought you would be busy with a swift forum.but anyway... It's Friday have a good weekend.

    Edit: I just got home from work, did a quick suzuki swift search. gonzagnr you might want to reconsider Keeping the Micra!

    sx4 does not use the same version of the m16a that the sport uses.
    have a look at this article.
    its about the zc31s, but bottom end is the same as in the zc32s.
    http://www.bridgetogantry.com/2/inde...800-laps-later

    here you can see how this cars are driven the whole time.

    after 600.000km driven in the nurbrgring by the whole fleet, only 1 engine blown at 70k km because of a bad downshift (8500+ rpm).
    i am former owner of a chevrolet corsa, and i am still a member of the corsa forum, the best car i ever had, by far.

    Just hate to see you get into a whole new bunch of problems...been reading a bit...engine knock, transmission noises and radiation.

    At least with your Micra you know what problems you have had and it sounds like you have an excellent mechanic to keep it in tip top shape if you have any other problems.

    Also just read that Suzuki cars are leaving north America. If that is true you might findn it difficult for service and warrantee problems. Maybe you can get your deposit back.

    Look, I don't want to rag on your new ride, just concerned. I had a whole bunch of links...i wont post them.
    Do some googling before you give up on our little car. I'm sure the gang would be happy to keep you as a valid Micra member.

    The clutch for the ac fan kicking in an out can be loud, but nothing to worry about. You can remedy this simply my turning off your AC until the car has warmed up.

    Just brought my car to the dealer this morning for knocking problem. They isolated it to #1 cylinder and right away they told me it was not normal and needed to call Nissan tech line . So they said they needed to keep my car to further inspect. So they lend me a used car meanwhile. Will let everyone know what the repair will be....
