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.

bronsin · 05-22-2014, 07:28 AM

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?

NEexpat · 05-22-2014, 12:15 PM

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* · 05-22-2014, 12:20 PM

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..

IllusionX · 05-22-2014, 12:56 PM

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

Exiwolfman · 05-22-2014, 01:22 PM

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 :(

^Micra is same size as Yaris

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.
