2015 Nissan Micra @ $9998 it's the lowest priced car in Canada

WOW a new car for under $10K, the 2015 Nissan Micra S starts at $9998 before taxes and destination charges. At that price you get the 5 speed manual transmission, 15" tires, a 1.6L DOHC engine producing 109 HP @ 6000 rpm, brakes (including ABS & EBD), traction control, complete surround set of airbags and AM/FM CD radio and four speakers.



Actually it's not that bad, just be prepared to sweat in the summer. A/C and cruise control are provided as a package on the Micra S if you choose to take the automatic transmission option for $13295.



I'm almost certain that the 2015 Micra base model will be a huge hit with restaurant (pizza) and other delivery companies.
I don't believe that the 2015 Nissan Micra will be as big of a hit with the public in the Canadian market as it is in European market. There are so many other more powerful and larger sub compacts available for a few thousand dollars more. For example the Nissan Versa sedan which is much larger than the Micra starts at only $11,898, and you get a decent trunk.
The other factor is that the driving distances here is Canada are much greater than that of most European countries.
Consumption figures are not out yet but they should be around 7.4L per 100km in the city and 5.4L on the highway.
