Globe and Mail: Micra heads list of 5 new cars for grads

[MetroMPG]

Another list of suggested cars for first time buyers. Like the similar list from the Toronto Star, The Globe gives the Micra top billing, with not one but two photos and a brief description:

Why we like it: Canada’s cheapest new car has just landed in dealer showrooms and it’s no-frills transportation for any graduate with hefty school debts. Bonus: Nissan offers a special purchase plan for new grads.

Also on the list:

• Fiat 500
• Hyundai Veloster
• Toyota Prius C
• Zipcar car sharing service (never seen car sharing appear on a list like this before)

I find it very interesting the car has now been recommended on two lists before the media have even tried it. I suppose they figure since they've already tried the Versa sedan and Note (with which the Micra shares a platform & drivetrain)...
