    Welcome, Chef Groleau!

    Did you actually get a 2017 model? You would be the first.

    Thank you

    The dealership called me Yesterday to tell me my car had arrived. Ill be picking it up on Friday.
    I had the choice of the white or capsian sea colour if i wanted the car quickly. Otherwise I was told it could be 4-9 weeks for a factory order to arrive.

    Officially a 2017 Micra Owner as of 3 hrs ago. I had tested out an automatic SV but ordered the S model. Slight surprise finding out the S model doesnt get an arm rest. Otherwise I quite like the manual, 5th gear could be a bit taller. Also really happy to be able to turn off all the dash light.... Im not one to look at my speed on the highway anyways so I am quite enjoying the extra darkness inside the cabin.

    I bought this car not because its the car I wanted. But because its the right car for me, right now. I have to admit tho, I missed having a go kart like car. First 300km impression... I am in love. Hopefully the honeymoon phase is long and sweet.

    I am also getting a kick out of seeing friends In disbelief when they find out they actually have to manually wind down the window. Or that It doesnt have AC.... im like sure it does have AC. what do you think these 4 windows are.

    Just got one myself, though, being a girl and not being able to live without A/C, I went with the SV model My question - where did you find the wind deflectors? Or did you get them through the dealer?

    I ordered them via the dealer. They work really well, but aesthetically I wish I had ordered online and got the one that sit inside the window channel. For now its function over style.
