2015 Nissan Micra ... Micra-Forum.com



The 2015 model year Nissan Micra will go on sale this spring... in Canada.

It may be Nissan's most efficient ICE car, but if so, not significantly more than the Versa sedan or Versa Note, because they share the same 1.6L engine and tranmissions (except CVT). Official fuel economy figures haven't been released yet, but I did some homework and have posted reasonable estimates: 2015 Nissan Micra fuel economy / mileage / mpg (NRCAN, EPA)

The car's trump card is its shockingly low price: $9998 for the base car (5-speed, no air conditioning). That's ~$2k+ below the next cheapest, Chevy Spark & Mitsubishi Mirage.

There are no official plans for US sales. But there's always speculation.

So! Volunteers, feel free to head over to www.Micra-Forum.com - we've started posting threads. Feel free to join in. I divided you into three shifts, staggered by 2 weeks:

1) for the next ~30 days (to approx. Mar. 20)
