    Car Review: 2015 Nissan Micra - driving.ca

    Here is a very level headed review from David Booth from driving.ca. He doesn't try to compare the Micra to luxury or sports cars and keeps things in context. Thus, there isn't much bad to say about the Micra.

    For those interested in the handling, he mentions it rides quite similar to the Note.

    Pros:
    - "borders on spunky" performance (from the 5 spd)
    - reviewer got better than NRCAN ratings on his test drive
    - "cute as a bug" styling
    - low price
    - quieter than its competitors

    Cons:
    - base model has no options
    - hard plastic interior

    I find it funny that he starts off his review saying essentially, "when looking at cars like this you have to keep things in proper perspective..."

    Then he reveals how much time he actually spends around entry-level vehicles...

    The base model’s tires are tiny little 185/60R15 affairs
    When he should note that there are no competitors with bigger wheels.

    (I bristle because all the cars I've owned -- more than 20 -- have had 13 or 14 inch wheels!)

    Yeah, a 185 is pretty common width too.
