at just undr 10k and loaded at 16k ...could be a good comparison to a Yaris.

Well, the company I work for makes the shifter assembly. Beyond that, I have no idea! =)

Would be nice if they just imported the Nissan March "as-is" straight from Japan.
But NoooOO, they had to fiddle with the design.

Love the price! Needs a two door model!

But its for Canada not us.

Somebody could make a lot of money importing those cars from Canada into the USA if they could figger it out...

We have the 3 pot Micra here in OZ.Hope they bring a 4 pot 1.6 ltr would be cool.

I like it, but I like the March a lot more. After my car is paid off, my wife wants a Versa Note. I will bring this up, but I think she has her heart set on the Note.

If only we got the March, I would do that instead of the yaris honestly.

^ I thought the Micra is canadian only?

What I found amazing when I went to the site was that the Maxima starts C$38'680. What is that about 35k US. I can get into an entry level 3 Series for less than that. (I assume those are C$ quotes)

Oh and the Micra, too small for me, my Yaris is as small as I want go for a DD.










*You see what I did there, Maxima/Micra, ..........................................yeah OK, never mind.

[kimona]

So cool!

You are correct. I didn't finish reading the article. I stoped at the end of this paragraph and assumed it made its way over to the states..

Given Detroit's proximity to Canada, it's not surprising that this culinary creation has managed to find its way across the border.

[IllusionX]

well, if you really wanted one... I guess i could buy and export them. LOL

I wonder if there is a big market for this.. Perhaps i could get myself into exporting these little cars. hehe

Micra is same size as Yaris end of day will try and the pic with my car next to one at Nissan next door :)

I really want to drive one. I love the fact it still uses the engine from the Versa, so it's not way down on power. However, I'm guessing the performance would be very similar to the Yaris. I really dig the looks, however. Always thought the Micra/March was a sharp little subcompact.

same here and SR is 4k less then SE Yaris ...when one shows up will test drive it too..also they have lots of cool after market stuff for it , just not many colors for SR :(

I guess i'd have to see one in person to get a real sense of the size. From the pics the rear seat/s don't appear to fold flat. That feature was a big point for me in the Yaris.

:wub: Any idea what the numbers are re fuel economy ?

[bronsin]

Where I got my full size spares for the wifes 05 Camry AND my 09 Yaris complete with usable spare tire:

800 765 7100 OR 916 631 7100

Not sure. I think it's in the same range as our Yaris 5.9 ltr/100 km. This thing scoot around the burbs around here very well indeed. It has been getting good reviews. After doing a brief research I realize we have the 1.5 ltr ST-L....The Mitsubishi Mirage and Nissan Micra both have bigger trunk than our 2nd gen Yaris. I know this because I have looked at them with the Mrs... If we weren't having a bub (baby) i would get this for sure for her.

Here's the real life review for them around here.

Micra curb weight SR 5 spd is 2352 lbs ,SE Yaris 5 spd 2368 as for size they are very close power is little better then Yaris...also Micra track with is little wider so over all same cars in a way under the skin ...now the main thing is how it drives...only down side to SR is that it will only have drums in back as to disk on SE...but in some way better for us Canadians less to worry about with winters and messy roads ...drums can out last disk 3 to 1.
Also price point SR few grad cheaper then SE.

[Thirty-Nine]

Barber's post makes you realize how "large" small cars have gotten. His Golf would've been a compact car back in the day, but now a Micra is about the same size!

Yesterday I did a search re how much would it cost to rent a Micra in Australia for a month. The Budget Rent a Car site was one of the hits that came up. Budget had both a 3 door manual Micra and a 5-door manual Yaris available (location: at the airport in Sydney). They were assigned to DIFFERENT categories, but the overall cost of the Micra was less than $50.00 AUD less than than the Yaris.
