Hi, gearbit - welcome to the forum!
Handling has been described as "best in class" by some of the media reviews, but the Micra isn't considered a direct Mini competitor. They're talking about cars like the Chevy Spark, Mitsu Mirage, Toyota Yaris, etc.
I'm only guessing, but I doubt it's quite as fun to drive as the Mini.
Don't believe what anyone else says, though. How close is your nearest Nissan dealer? Go try one.

Test Drove It Today. Loved It! For Some Reason I Felt Like I Was Driving A Subcompact SUV. =P

I suspect he may mean in terms of the upright seating position.
In our culture obsessed with absurd excess, the Nissan Micra is my counterculture car of choice.

I agree with Darin. Suspension handling is very subjective. Go drive it and see for yourself.
Im making mine into a mini type driver. lowering springs, bigger wheels with lower profile tires. and stiffer swaybars and braces.
