Do you speak Micra?
October 24, 2005Today I handed over my car to my Nissan dealership– they will be redoing the paintjob (after some fcuker jacked my car radio), and they will also give it a complete and thourough check-up, since I’ll be going all the way to Belgium (Ardennen) with it in a few eeks, so it needs to be in tip-top shape.
As a loancar, they gave me the new Nissan Micra (I drive the old version). The new Micra looks like a blown-up frog, but dear god, how looks can be deceiving.
It is an absolute girl’s car, and no sane man would buy it. However, it drives exceptionally well. Just like my older Micra (I have a 1995 edition, with 84000km), the gearshift is short and sporty, a small steering wheel, short turning circle, low engine noise, and the build quality and finish is just astoneshing for such a small and relatively cheap car.
Definitely recommended to any lady who wants a small, high-quality, affordable car.
Note: And while we’re on the subject of Nissan– the 350Z is the one to want.
I forget that the cars in Europe are consideribly smaller than their american counterparts. Nonetheless, that is one freaky looking car, hopefully noone will recognize you when you are driving it. On another subject, I recently got rid of my gas guzzling behemoth truck, a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab, that got ~13 miles/gallon, and replaced it with a 2006 Saturn Ion, that gets around 30 mpg. It pained me to fill up the tank on my truck at US $3.00/gallon.

Alleen is de mijne wel iets anders, maar dit is ‘m bijna.
