      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 CZcamsrs 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.

      Think how cheap you can get this used. It probably looses value like a rock thrown off a cliff, and the original price is super low. You can probably get a slightly used Micra for a few grand, and the car will be cheap to maintain for a long time after. If you're on a tight budget but need a car, and you dont care much about them beyond something to get you from A to B, I think this is perfect. Plus it doesn't have the tons of electronic toys that new cars have that are just waiting to malfunction (touchscreen glove box button anyone?).

      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.

    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.
