      @karstenhjaltelin7600 6 років тому +152

      honestly, with 2 digit horsepower torque is really important. a 90 hp engine can be really decent with enough torque, but basically any standard european 60hp city car is useless above 80kmh

      @baptpopeil 6 років тому +57

      Thomas Sanladerer You're not completely true. Even though they are quite expensive, in Europe you can get a Renault Clio with 120hp, a Kia Rio/Hyundai i20 with 120hp, a ford fiesta with 140hp, a vw polo with 115 hp, a Peugeot 208 with 110 hp, etc... (These cars are often top of the range and with turbos). Even though most people in Europe buy city cars with 60-80 hp engines, we can still get quite punchy little cars :)

    Honestly guys, your "regular car" reviews are probably your best. We all get exposed to 6 videos on the same day of the new Porsche or whatever because all the UA-camrs went to the same press event, but stuff like this showcases why your channel is so great. Not everyone talks about cars like this, and because it doesn't have *every* feature imaginable there's way more of substance to talk about. Please keep doing reviews of sub-$50K cars, that's among the most interesting content.

      The only reason this car has them is because they're mandated by Canadian law for brand new cars. The newest model year Micra now comes standard with a backup camera, not because Nissan wanted to include it but because now all new cars in Canada are legally required to have one.

      It’s sad because they were so great back then. I really want them to succeed, but each new model they release (that happens very rarely) just let me down. They’re always priced above the others for what they offer. They have electronic difficulties and the engines don’t deliver. I wouldn’t be surprised either if they left the US/Canadian in 10 years.

    I am watching you from Northern Cyprus (TRNC), it is known as March instead of Micra because it came here from Japan. I was thinking of buying it, but after watching you, I thought I should definitely buy march. But here it is available with 1.2liter 82ps petrol and cvt transmission. Besides that, March models are equipped with keyless entry, multimedia with rear camera, electric folding side mirrors and electric open&close 4 windows. Thank yor for prepare this review, have a nice day🤗

But I drove that motor to St Petersburg and then to Athens, driving over 10,000 miles in a 40 day period through everything from snow storms in the Baltic and dirt roads in Albania to the Italian alps. Hell of a motor, only issue at all was when I fell asleep in Poland with the lights on and drained the power. Hell of a car.

    You guys should be a bit more specific, this is an exclusive model for the Canadian market, in the rest of the world the 2018 micra is a completely new car, it costs about 3 times as much and isn’t a super cheap feeling car at all. We have Dacia’s as our super budget cars.
    Weird that they used the 2011 model from the rest of the world as a super budget model for Canada. It is hilariously cheap though, 10k cad is like 5k gbp or 6k eur. Which is ridiculously cheap.
