    Greetings from the Kawarthas

    Saturday I put down a deposit for a SV Manual with convenience pkg in Red, awaiting to hear from the dealership that they have secured me one. I am very excited as I am switching from a bare bones 2005 Toyota Echo hatch. This is my first Nissan and I can't wait to be behind the wheel!!!

    Welcome, ptbo!

    That makes two of you in the same area: Pete lists Peterborough as home. First Micra meet?

    I spent many summer holidays in your neck of the woods (a great aunt's cottage on Sturgeon Lake near Bobcaygeon).

    Have you had your Echo since new? How many km on it?

    thanks,

    I've been driving around the echo for a few years, before that I had a Focus wagon I LOVED! the Echo has just over 120k on it, but I wanted to have a new car with AC and cruise and something with warranty! This is the first time I am buying new.

    Are you trading the Echo for the Micra? Keep it as a winter beater and your Micra will last forever!

    Here it is, the Metallic Blue is stunning in the low light. Waiting on winter tyres and undercoat. Will take the keys Saturday morning!

    Very nice!

    Getting snow tires too? We're getting a big dumping right now, and it looks like it's headed your way.
