Another writer gets a crack at a bare bones Micra S 5-speed and declares it's almost a no-brainer to get one instead of a used car.
He says he's actually considering doing just that.
There are a few small mistakes in his report, but that's par for the course. He says...
Likes:
- price (of course)
- nimble, decent handling
- tight turning circle, easy to park
- decent fuel economy
- cute styling
Dislikes:
- rear legroom
- plain, plasticky interior
- engine noise on the highway -- needs a 6th gear
- upholstery is a magnet for hair & lint (really, is this an issue?)
Overall:
He gave it a 7/10: "New car at a used car price."
