Currently $2.19 a litre in Mission BC(just outside Vancouver).....$2.49 in Vancouver proper. The oil companies are gouging us using the excuse of lowered supply due to a refinery in Washington state being down.

Oil companies have been running record profits, worked in Ft Mac for a while. The barrel could be at 45 bucks and they would still be a profitable bunch

the comfort, the speed with lower rpm's than the micra. the overall quality of the car was there compared to the micra. Don't get me wrong i think this micra is a great choice. Just wishing i would have kept the mazda
Just saw a listing a for a Micra over 20,000 CAD$ and had to come here and comment.
Still loving my 2015 Micra SR purchased October 2021 for $9,995 with 69,000 km.
My brother-in-law works the parts department at a Chevy dealer and they have a 2015 Micra SV with 35,000 km that came in on a trade, he says he may be able to get it for $15,000. He really needs to replace his 2006 Chevy Uplander that is completely rusted and utterly unsafe (it stalls on the highway so he makes his wife drive it in the city!!!). I texted him this morning. His family needs a Micra! He has three small kids, and the Micra can literally do everything the uplander is currently doing, other that tow, but they already replaced their ancient Civic with a Kia SUV so they are good there, unless he hasn't gotten around to installing that trailer hitch he was supposed to. Anyone else have a little brother(in-law) that needs a kick in the butt?

Can confirm, small car prices have gone bonkers here in Halifax too.
I sold my Mirage thinking I'd be able to find a newer model small car pretty easily, (I was very wrong).
It took me two months of sleuthing to find the 2017 Micra I just bought for what I think is too much, however there were just no other options without buying a rust bucket.
Here is a sample what Micra's are going for locally:
Low end of the spectrum:
2015 Micra, 200K km, $8500
Higher end:
2019 Nissan Micra $18990
Basically New 2019, $20050
Bear in mind, there is 15% HST on top of that, plus all the fees that go along with buying a car from the dealer.
Mitsubishi doesn't even *have* any new (or used) Mirages in stock, they're taking orders for 6+ months away and the Chevrolet Sparks have all but gone and are going for now crazy high used prices, sometimes often more than what they originally cost new.
For all the small cars being discontinued due to lack of demand, there seems to be a large demand for them.![]()
