Got Micra questions? Post them here to get answers from a Nissan Canada expert

[MetroMPG]

This is cool: Nissan Canada has been in touch, and they offered to make a Micra expert available to answer questions about the car.

Post your questions in this thread, and once we've got a bunch, I'll let them know.

UPDATE, April 22:
Nissan has responded to this first batch of questions. See Post #20 for the full text of the Q&A in one place.

I can think of a couple to start:

1) Why no CVT?

2) Looking for clarification: In the list of modifications made to the car specifically for Canada, steering is mentioned. The Nissan press release said the turning radius was tightened, but I read elsewhere that the steering ratio was changed (which could be fun -- some reviews of the UK Micra say the steering isn't particularly responsive).
