Reader Review: 2015 Nissan Micra SV automatic (Driving.ca / Calgary Herald)

[MetroMPG]

A Calgary Herald reader -- and owner of a 2008 Mazda 3 -- puts a Micra SV automatic through its paces for a week. She says she likes it, but is glad to get back in her own car at the end of the test.

(Unlike me! )

Pros:
- "cute" styling
- simple, clear interior, also fit & finish
- power, responsive engine
- "gorgeous" handling
- tight turning circle

Cons:
- lack of center cubby/stowage
- no temperature gauge (right, Alpha!?)
- didn't like the digital fuel gauge (esp. when getting low)
- stiff ride
- rear headrests block rear view
- no strap to pull the hatch closed (right, Antruby??)

Overall:

From the start, the car made a favourable impression... Overall, Nieman thought the Micra represented good value for the money.

- rear headrests block rear view

Huh, even though it's not on the features list, those things are removable... It's actually the first thing I did to my car.

Yup. I usually do the same thing. But I keep them in the car in case I have back seat passengers.
