Not a fan of Nissan craftsmanship/quality control, but I like the look of their Micra. Yet another car that will likely never see the U.S. market. All we get are the crappy version of models/trims from Japanese companies, and/or bloated SUV/Crossover market-saturation garbage.



Even Mexico receives a much nicer version of the Corolla than we get. WTF Toyota?

^^^ Kalispel, I agree with everything you said!

Yup, the Nissan Micra looks great from every angle:

Another car we'll never get here, the Nissan Pulsar, is a great looking car as well:

Nissan needs to start playing with the big boyz again. They need to bring back

baby Zilla. The Pulsar Gti-r awd rocket. Call it Pulsar Nismo or something.

We get the Nissan Pulsar. It's not the looks that lets it down it's the on road performance. It's bland

ecno box.

Check out KIA...

Another beautiful masterpiece.





Another peach of a design. Now make it AWD or RWD turbo manual please, KIA.

In my opinion the new Nissan Micra looks a little over designed. Actually a lot of new cars have too much shapes and lines. In the end it all comes together somehow and it looks decent, but it's too much design characteristics all put together in one car. I feel like it's too much to look at.

For example i kinda like the Infiniti Q30, but at the same time i don't, when i look at it from the side and back. The Front looks decent.

My friend has a Micra and she thinks my Yaris is much better, i have to agree with her Yaris envy , i do get clostrophobic in her car although hers is in better condition to mine (Yaris is still being fixed)

I am in Auckland, New Zealand for a vacay.Hired a Mazda 2 Demio.It's the 2010 Up model. This car is not bad i don't find it fun.zoom zoom yeah right.But I will take it to Rotaroa we will see how it handles .But it is composed and sits flat on road.Not twitchy like the 2nd gen Yaris which makes it a pleasant ride on the road.

Nissan Mexico announced in August the cease of production of the Versa (Note), they have a large inventory to sell.
So maybe there is some hope of seeing the new made in Mexico Micra (March) in dealers next year, but if the demand for small cars remain low they will concencrate in more profitable models.
Anyway, Nissan needs to do something in Mexico because Kia and Hyundai are eating his lunch.

^^^ The Micra would be a good replacement for both the Versa (sedan) and Versa Note (hatchback). Keep the trim levels to minimum and the MSRP down by simply adding an optional power package to the base offering. I think they'd have a winner.

Took the 2008 Mazda 2🐝 to Hobbiton where they filmed Lord of the ring.Got to see Bilbos home.The Mazda is noisey take it over 120 km/h shit starts shaking. Maybe 2017 Mazda 2 is better because this 2008 model is disappointing.

One of these was parked beside me at school yesterday. The car actually looks very good in person... much better than photos. A very nice hatchback.

I would prefer to take a new Japanese car, Nissan Pulsar is really great! Looking at the pics right now...
But I think for now I would go for a smaller hatchback.

That's a warm hatch. There is a hotter version of this car. It will not go to the U.S. of A.

The Hyundai i30 N.
