    BBC review of Canadian Micra S, and CP24.com review of Micra

    Please feel free to remove this post and split it into the official Media review post.

    BBC.com has a review of the Canadian Micra S.

    http://www.bbc.com/autos/story/20150...0000-sparkplug

    CP24.com also has an overall review of the Micra. Wrong horsepower figure in article, and a note how incentives on slightly larger models could bring the price close to the the mid trim.

    What's odd is the BBC would run a review of the Canadian Micra at all, considering the UK Micra gets very different drivetrain options than we do.

    Agreed. I'm guessing they were already in Canada for another reason (maybe filming the upcoming Top Gear episode with the Hennesey Velociraptor, or testing some other car), and took the opportunity to do a review of the Western Hemisphere Micra/March. I'm surprised they didn't mention the UK Micra in the article for comparison.

    Actually, now that you mention it, the writer is a Canadian freelancer. I recognized his name from another Micra article:

    Thread: Rumour mill: Micra NISMO dealer package coming

    And he's often in Driving.ca

    But even so, you're right -- given the target audience, it's odd he didn't mention the UK Micra specs at all.
