One of the main reasons I want a Micra is the fact that these cars can last forever. Not every car will.

Some cars, like my '02 Grand Am GT, just aren't fuel efficient enough to make them worth repairing.
I recently posted about the nearly everlasting Micra. Here are the inspirational videos of a '94 K11 model used for everyday driving and travelling around Europe:
It gets repaired to live on!
