My very first BRAND NEW CAR is a 2015 NISSAN MICRA SR!!!

[Mr_Mercenary]

I'm 46 years old and my philosophy to save money has been to buy a solid $2000-3000 car every year and then sell it the next year for the same price as I bought it. So for 25+ years, I have had a solid beater for the same original $2000 and I pay insurance on a 10+ year old vehicle. Minus the odd unlucky alternator, fuel pump etc, I have saved a lot of money.

This year everything changed, I have a little one on the way. The latest victim in my line of successions of good used cars is a Ford Explorer. My wife wanted a newer car and I was up to spend for some new tires for the Ford anyway so it was a good time to price out new cars in the new but economical range (under $20,000 or way less). With a competitive field of brand new wooers attempting to wow me, I wound up considering
-Ford Focus and Fiesta
-Hyundai Accent and Elantra
-Toyota Prius and Yaris
-Kia Rio
-Mitsubishi Mirage
-Honda Fit and Civic
-Dodge Dart
-Chevrolet Sonic and Spark
-Nissan Micra

In the end the Nissan Micra won me over with one video. The Nissan Micra Cup. Bought the SR and we've been loving it. Eventually, hunting for add-ons led me to Micra Forum. Cheers!
