Being cheap and popular certainly has something to do with it, but also consider how light and solidly built the K10 (and K11) Micra's are. Also consider the short wheelbase and the fact that the wheels are at the outer edges of the car, these cars were made for jumps. Most other cars self destruct under their own weight upon landing.
I only wish I had a camcorder when I had my K10.
In our culture obsessed with absurd excess, the Nissan Micra is my counterculture car of choice.
