Hi guys, I'm new to this forum. I just test drove a 2017 Micra 5 speed and I loved it. It is such a blast to drive.

I'm pretty concerned because of reports of the HR 16DE engine developing rod knock, even at low mileage. In this thread https://micra-forum.com/showthread.p...HR16DE-solved) there don't appear to have been any reports of engine issues in 2017 plus models. I'm still pretty nervous about buying the car. Its a good deal, but it is still a lot of money for me. I know that not all engines develop this problem, even in the older models, but knowing my luck, I'd end up with a winner.

I was wondering if anyone has had, or seen reports of the rod knock issue in 2017 model year+ Micras? If you guys could help me out on this, that would be awesome. I'd love to be a Micra owner myself. Thanks!
