    I rented one in Spain two weeks ago. Not bad...as much space as a Mini and two more doors. Made short work of tiny villages in the Pyrenees, but it's no Honda Fit. The 1.2 did grab 140 km/h before I lost nerve. I tried burning two tanks of gas over five days but came up far short. #nissanmicra

    Hmmm...so it's either the optional brakes or this car....interesting decision to make. #nissanmicra

    Is it me or does the rear end of the Nissan Micra look like the rear end of a London cab? Sorta like a miniature version? #nissanmicra

    The only way I am getting this is if I can trade in my super-testosterone filled first gen Miata for this model! i do own a Miata, but even I am not secure enough to get one. #nissanmicra

    I can't wait to see them make this into a three-box sedan/coupe. Come on, Nissan, you know you're thinking about it. This is America, after all. #nissanmicra

    C'mon 3-cylinder Diesel!

    While I love to own/drive luxury land-yachts, I'm all for a small commuter car.

    Make sure it has comfy seats, decent sound-deadening, and a good sound system, and I'm there. #nissanmicra

    @speakerboy: Having driven a smart, I have to say, the transmission is extremely goofy (other than that, from the inside, it isn't that odd a vehicle -- it's like driving just the cab of a small pickup truck). I kept downshifting when I wanted to go from 1st to 2nd, because the motion was backwards. I do not recommend driving in automatic mode, unless you happen to be a mechanical bull enthusiast. #nissanmicra

    Not to mention the smart requires the higher priced Premium fuel as opposed to Regular. #nissanmicra

    @Zadkiel: true, that's pretty goofy. The problem with the smart is that it's made from a whole bunch of compromises, really. It's expensive and impractical for pretty much anyone who isn't a city dweller that absolutely cannot live without a car.

    In a way that's an anathema to Jalopnik, I rather like it (plus, it scores surprisingly high on the 'How Jalopnik is your Car' metric), because it's so unabashedly weird. If a used one turned up real cheap next time I'm in the market for a car, I'd seriously consider it. I could actually live with it, all things considered. #nissanmicra

    The only way I can see a U.S. market for this car is as a commute-vehicle inside the Nordstrom's parking lot... #nissanmicra
