That's crazy, I thought BC was lousy with K10 Micras.

The new Micra is supposed to get 43 MPG...very good, all things considered.

Seems anything electronic is just another thing that can go wrong and cost you a bunch of money when the warranty is over.
Apparently, the bottom level Micra represents a mere 4% of the current production build, so you might want to place your order now. Also, while I once would have agreed with you on the electronic junk in the days when car tape decks would eat our tapes, the modern electronics seem to last well into obsolescence.

Cowabunga dude! Looks like green isn't on the menu; the closest they have is called "Caspian Sea." Not a bad colour, just not a good choice if you're a ninja turtle. http://mymicra.com/?p=205
In our culture obsessed with absurd excess, the Nissan Micra is my counterculture car of choice.
