Nissan Micra

Being a small entry-level car, I didn’t have high expectations for the Micra’s ride. But Nissan spent time working on the suspension and it pays off. Around the broken streets of Montreal, the car absorbs bumps like a car twice its size; a possible carryover from the Micra being developed for parts of the world with rougher roads.

The car is equipped with incredibly light steering and a turning radius Nissan actually reduced when bringing the car over to the Canadian market. This makes it quite maneuverable in the city, while thankfully lacking the darty feeling some small hatchbacks suffer from on the highway.
