Nissan Micra 2015: Petit prix, grandes ambitions (Autonet.ca)
Frédéric Mercier gives the Micra a very healthy 8/10 score, with reservations about fuel economy and the base model's equipment level.
Likes...
- attractive styling
- good value
- fun to drive with good handling, steering
- "more than adequate" suspension handles bumpy roads well
Dislikes...
- base car lacks content/options
- fuel consumption a potential weak point, being a main concern of motorists (note: Quebec typically has Canada's highest fuel prices)
- low transmission gearing: ~3500 RPM at 115 km/h
Overall...
...the stars are aligned to make this a winning subcompact, especially in Quebec, where hatchbacks have always been popular.
