Is it wrong to like the new Nissan Micra?

teaston · 07-26-2017, 08:47 AM

Obviously I wouldn't own one but every time I see one I can't help thinking what a good looking car it is!

Am I wrong?

Canary_Yellow · 07-26-2017, 09:07 AM

It certainly might offer a bit more competition to the Fiesta, but I'd still sooner have a Fiesta. I actually enjoy driving my wife's, don't tell anyone though!

simon the pieman · 07-26-2017, 09:08 AM

A neighbour has one and I had a to look twice when I saw the micra badge on it. Their's is black and looks nice from a small car perspective.
Better than the late 80's micra I learnt to drive in that's for sure.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder sire.

XK140 · 07-26-2017, 09:35 AM

Looks OK.

...and, like all previous Micras, is sure to be in front of every traffic convoy.

Personally I would be picking the new Ibiza FR - but it does seem super mini buyers are spoilt at the moment....

Soul_Glo · 07-26-2017, 11:30 AM

Looks oddly like the Clio.

TBH, if after a small city type car I believe practicality, price and amount of tech forvthat price outweigh looks.

At the moment I am pricing an Aygo for someone, it's only 2 dove power but has decent tech kit, 5 year warranty, 0% finance and I get nearly £1800 discount.

The car will just be from A to B at around 50mph and total cost is about £10k or bit less.

JustChris · 07-26-2017, 03:10 PM

Very Wrong.

JLR1969 · 07-26-2017, 05:05 PM

It's not wrong if you are either female or an OAP now get a grip of yourself and grow a set.

SteveChester · 07-27-2017, 01:34 AM

Yes!

SkyJawa · 07-27-2017, 01:45 AM

Wrong but it's defo the best looking Micra (though it's not so small anymore!) they've made yet, but that's not hard!

TheLiverBird · 07-27-2017, 01:50 AM

My best mate lost his virginity in a white Mk1 Micra in a pub carpark to a girl in a black Lycra catsuit. We never knew which was more embarrassing: the car, the location, or the catsuit. At least if it'd been this new one we could have ruled out the car!

SteveChester · 07-27-2017, 01:52 AM

Nothing wrong with a shag in a car in a cat suit - a shags a shag!!!

eluded · 07-27-2017, 02:07 AM

It's cheap, has a manual, what's there not like?

creepy coupe · 07-27-2017, 02:18 AM

My missus quickly looked at one before buying a 325i

Fooking expensive.

That's because they are limited to 38mph. At least I've never seen one go faster.. same as the Honda Jazz.

Renault and Nissan are the same company

Lots of sharing between ranges - eg Quashquai and Kadjar as same platform

Reliable Jap engines with French electrics.

Styling is certainly sharper. In fact, it's unrecognisable from the old model.

Are these sharp lines and angular headlights a VAG thing? They seem to be spreading everywhere.

You're so wrong bro
