2015 Black Micra SV from Ajax, Ontario

[Charlie]

Hi,
First time ever joining a forum and posting about anything EVER! Glad to find a community for micras. Picking up mine next week on Wed/Thurs can't wait.

Needed a commuter car for a new job in T.O And love small cars previously had 2 Yaris's I think micra drives similiar to a yaris. In the running was a 14' mazda2, 15' Note 16' Fit. But picked up micra because my wife loved it thought 'so cute' I got it black with black tints personally think it will be bad@ss. Never really did mods to cars but slowly want to with this one I think. I want to install the fog lights I saw a guide here (thanks!) and looking for other ideas. Got a buddy I'm working on getting one too. Will post pics once I got my ride. Can't wait I've been missing having a little hatchback. From Ajax near Oshawa.

Great to have you here, there are a few members from the east side of the GTA and a few of us up in the Kawarthas.

Curious with those competitors, what would have been your 2nd choice?

Welcome to the forum!

Note was second choice I was leaning that way for a bit but glad I went with the micra. I thought the note drove like the Honda fit though, shifts smoothly and was very peppy - had great acceleration. I didn't spend much time with the mazda2 they don't have a model out for 2015.

Thank you!

Yeah, apparently the new Mazda 2 was cancelled for the U.S., and delayed for Canada. (Though the U.S. is still going to get it in sedan form as a rebadged Scion.)

It's supposed to be a big improvement over the outgoing car (which the auto reviewers generally liked in 5-speed form), and way more fuel efficient to boot. 6-speed manual & 6-speed auto in the new one.
