New Micra Owner, coming from a Mitsubishi Mirage

[javensbukan]

Hello all!

Recently made the jump from a 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage (CVT) to a 2017 Micra SV manual. (Mainly because of brutal maintenance costs with the CVT) and I wanted power locks and AC!

So far I love the car, so much more fun to drive than my old car, even though it’s not as fuel efficient.

It’s also much more comfortable, far more supportive seats, comfortable ride and suspension, yet also far more responsive to drive.

Only gripes so far is that the paint seems brittle, though that’s pretty common on many cars now.

The previous owner had a rock chip get rusty and they attempted to paint over and it’s re-bubbled, waiting on getting a quote on having it professionally fixed… what should I expect for cost?





Waiting on the "Micra" front plate cover as the car was from a province that needed front plates, though I don't here and I want to cover the big ugly holes.

Any tips or tricks for someone coming from a Mirage to a Micra?
