With no big changes from 2015 to 2016, Micra reviews from the media have slowed to a trickle.
But here's one from doubleclutch.ca -- the same guys who also reported on the Micra Cup race prepped Micra from the media day at Mosport (Canadian Tire Motorsport Park) last week.
They spent a week in a base S with the 5-speed, and came away suitably impressed:
Likes:
- responsive 109 hp engine vs. power in competitors' cars (Spark, Mirage)
- fun to drive
- darty at highway speeds, but better planted than Spark
- fuel economy (6.4L / 100 km observed in a week of driving, which beats the official rating)
Dislikes:
- rubbery shift quality; clutch a bit vague
- no bluetooth
Overall:
The 2016 Nissan Micra S is a cheap, honest subcompact that’s aimed fully towards value ... far from a subpar penalty box ... the best-driving choice right now.
