I'm SO glad I caught this when I did. I was as serious as this video about buying a new Bugatti Chiron. I was going to write the check the next day, but luckily, I watched Ed's vid on YT that night. Erased three zeroes on the check and headed for Nissan! oh, and those safety beams on the outside of the doors has come in real handy! Thanks Ed!

[@saintsaens21]

This legendary car will be worth more than a Chiron in a few years, you did the right thing.

[@jkarhiaho]

I honestly like the Micra. It really feels like a true small people's car. Newer cars are fat and ugly. This reminds me of the Mini or the old Fiat 500. It's small, practical, simple and just a nice car. This is where car evolution should have stopped. And I really am serious about what I just said. The Micra really is a dream car for me.

[@Smarthealthclubuk]

I have micra tempest I did have 4.3 Mercedes ml and I prefer my beloved micra sunroof , 20k I kid you not and I promise hand on heart ♥️ love her more than the Merc

[@im8980]

@@Smarthealthclubuk I just bought mine, a 2001 model...I love it so much :)

[@nowind37]

Also Reliable

[@mohammadzeani9158]

Look the audio could've been better on some parts of the video but I absolutely love the charm and character in this video definitely sub worthy.

[@TerraRiderAdventures]

We just bought this engineering master piece today. Thanks for the review. :D

[@61rampy65]

They were probably really disappointed over at the Bugatti showroom when you left to go buy a Micra.

[@YegoYTP]

@@61rampy65 probably not, I bet the dealership knows that the Bugatti is an inferior car to the almighty Micra.

[@ivanameruoso]

You're like Doug Demuro but better. So glad i discovered this channel

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

Doug makes up stuff to seem smart. Ed is great

[@RichieRouge206]

The best feature of the Micra is that noone would want to steal it 🤣 so funny Ed, really enjoyed this

[@pices229]

I was going to have the Bugatti imported to USA but I cancelled the order and having a Nissan Micra imported instead. We have none of those exotic cars here. :)

[@Imacomingtoo]

That radio was so old it was picking up morse code

[@Wheels-Wheels-Wheels]

A cracking little car in fact. One of those that does everything you expect of it, does nothing badly, and is surprisingly reassuring and satisfying to drive. Makes one realise that there's more to motoring than technical specification.

[@dorian7661]

Mine is 23 years old, never broke down. 150k kms. It is the rust that gets them.

[@AronMih]

PAL you have to give it some stick . if you want to get quicker to 100km. I drive it like I stole it. 😂😂

[@CA18KE70]

those nissan micra's are great cars, as long as you dont have the later ones with the renault engines. 1000cc 16v and 1300cc 16v are bulletproof

[@tamirspivak9434]

I dont know if this is intentionally or unintentionally scuffed haha. The bad video quality and that narrow fottage before the 0-60 are awesome

[@hydrolics5449]

This is hilarious. But I have a micra k11 as my first car and they are great cars and very nippy around corners

[@shaunw9270]

Old Nissans are great 👌

[@vaclav_fejt]

Sshh, you're not supposed to say that, you should say "made in Japan". "...around corners."

[@davidjames2910]

I love the refreshing take on reviews and you make good points in your ridiculous way. We had a 1.0 Micra from the 90s. It was a very nice car within its obvious limits but lacked any safety features beyond seatbealts and its life ended when the more modern but very ordinary car in front braked more quickly than the tiny-tyred Micra could and the Micra's grill, light and bonnet all got broken on its rear bumper.

[@leebfc1901]

Love my 2002 K11. done only 30,600 Miles. Never once let me down.

[@TechSignn]

My K11 has done 300.000 Km and is still reliable! :D

[@Innochamp]

We had 2 of them. A 1998 model and also a 2001 model called "fresh" with climate control, power windows, power steering, power brakes and 60hp. They where great and reliable.

[@Rich77UK]

The best fun I ever had driving was driving sheds. I can't drive a bugatti to its limits but I can an MR2 or vectra.

[@mustafaadamjee9863]

Amazing video! Please make more! You deserve millions of subscribers!

Hot tip to increase the value of anyone's old Nissan Micra by 50% instantly, fill the petrol tank right up.😊 Great 'tongue in cheek' video, thank you.

[@VONMEEK]

I shall sell Bugatti first thing tomorrow morning and aim for my 1999 Micra

[@deadfishparty]

I’ve got a 2017 K13 Micra here in Canada. No power options. Love it’s function over form. Although thankfully it has double the hp so you don’t get smeared all over the highway while merging.

[@ronaldjohnson1474]

How many days of filming did you use? I can only imagine the outtakes. The "I'm growing a beard" had me rolling.

[@Fl0xtpvnk]

I like this live action style review format. This is awesome, pls make more of these 👍

[@spacekii]

10:05 it kills me that you named the very car that went past you. god i love your videos, hilarious stuff! keep it up dude

[@angel.c6350]

This Video actually reminds me of Myself. A Person who doesn't think that Showing off or Having a DAMN EXPENSIVE car is Important, when I prefer a Dialy Driver ( Ya know, an Everyday Car ).

[@sarakeem.213]

This is all you need…….The best line for me in the whole video 😂 Thanks for this great review Ed🤝.

[@jorgesantoine24]

Drivers of other more expensive cars and typical car reviewers usually under value the Micra, but those who own one know their true quality, which is great. I agree, the manual already makes it "200% more sporty" than any automatic. Also, contrary to what you might expect, it grips the road well, so you can drive fast, if you want to. Great review!!

[@jkb2016]

A most splendid example of automotive engineering and design!

[@M.S-Music]

And those little things are extremely though and reliable, i know few with 400.000Km and still going. Pity Nissan is no longer what it once used to be, Renault killed a great Japanese brand.

[@cerealtiller]

Allowing the Engine to rev higher through the Gears would have Reduced the 0-100KPH time a lot .

[@francisnewmarch6837]

Bravo. Keep it up so amusing and true. By the way try ordering a towing hitch for a Bugatti Royale as scarce as a roof rack for a Bentley continental. Love from Greece

[@oldtopgearsaab1]

I know that this was a joke, bht i think that Ed is half true at least, because you can have maximum fun in a micra whilst doing the speed limit, and have the most fun on your dull morning journey to work and even in the car park. I doubt any of that happens in anything sportier than a Mazda MX5/Toyota GT86. I really miss my old 2000 Micra 1.0 celebration model 😔

[@SmokeRzzzz]

True, that was a solid point and in my opinion, an excelent opportunity to double micra's points on the scoreboard.

[@almahyongai9246]

I can I buy one?

[@almahyongai9246]

I need one my contact [phone] we can also do business in Liberia

[@ivar4355]

Bought one of these today for 150$ got some rust damage in the usual place in the front, but thats no issue. Same color, but 4door and 1.3 liter engine, mine also got crank Windows so thats one less thing that can break. Fantastic little cars

[@peterstaalblauw8965]

Top! It makes me think of my mothers starlet, i loved driving it.

[@adriangoede7433]

Ed… you are a gas! Excellent video.

[@exoroxx]

I can totally relate to this. My first 5 years of driving experience took place in an even more 'great' car. No power steering, no ABS, no nothing. I don't want to miss that experience.

[@kitko33]

I almost bought a 2001 Micra back in 2002 - in the 'sport' trim with a 1.2 liter engine. But the car was light and it had 4 disc brakes! And it had a really good chassis so it was actually fun to drive.

[@jameswarden9136]

I would much rather the Micra than the bugatti :D

[@neilforbes416]

I'll agree on the reverse light, the car should have two, one in each tail-light assembly. That aside, I need to give you some advice when doing piece-to-camera work while outside. Don't rely on your video camera's microphone to pick up your voice too well on outdoor shots. If your camera has a connection for an external microphone, get one with a good, long lead, or get a wireless micophone where the receiver runs on batteries and connect its(the receiver's) output to your camera's external microphone connection. If your camera *does not* have an external microphone connection(and most cameras don't have such a connection unless they're really expensive up-market models), then use a separate digital voice recorder(which creates a WAV audio file, same as that created by the camera). Start the camera and voice recorder, then give a good, loud clap of your hand, which serves as the synchronising sound for editing. When editing, import the video and the audio files, listen for the clap sound on the video and split just ahead of the clap sound(you'll see a visual representation of the waveform on the audio track under the video track, now mute the video's audio and add the voice recorder's recording to an audio track below that of your video. Listen again for that handclap and split the audio just ahead of that handclap. Unmute the video's audio track, cut the audio recorder's recording to clipboard(Ctrl+X), go to the beginning ov the video and then paste the voice recorder's audio back into place(Ctrl+V), now just nudge the audio from the recorder until the clap sound is in unison(no echo), Then render your clip for use in the final video production(you'll be editing out the handclap sound as ithas served its purpose). Do the initial recording part of this routine as often as needed for each piece-to-camera sequence you need to do.

[@aamirqz]

You make a convincing argument. You could've given the Micra one more point if you had shown the boot/trunk area and the amount of stuff you can carry when you fold the rear seats down. Can the Bugatti do that? Nope! Also, those black plastic strips on the door panels protect the car from dings and scratches when opening the doors next to other cars in parking lots. They do not provide any sort of crash protection.

[@jorgesantoine24]

The Nissan Micra also has a full size spare wheel inside the under boot area, so no need to get under the vehicle and get dirty to change a flat tyre like in some other bigger and more expensive vehicles.

[@tedlym.3390]

I would love to tell you that I now want a Micra, but I hate lying. I did enjoy this presentation. Thank you,

[@Dev1nci]

9:00 you got me 😂😂

[@29madmangaud29]

it's 'bout time we get to see you Ed!

[@1quickdub]

I have a 2015 Micra SR 1.6L with 109 hp. It's a blast to drive, especially with winter tires on gravel roads - flat out!

[@sdgakatbk]

I don't know about either of these cars, but I SO agree with you about these new cars with all this extra technological bs in them!! I drive a 2006 Mazda 3, Nothing fancy, but it gets me where I want to go and it's alive and kicking. And it's a standard. I love driving standards and have only driven after my first car a used mid 60s Ford Custom 500 which I owned in the mid-70s. Standards are just so much more fun to drive. I like being able to down shift if I'm driving on ice up a mountain road for example. I've driven some of the newer vehicles and I find the computer screen in the middle of the dashboard a distraction. And I definitely relate about listening when I'm driving.

[@Phylonyous]

After all the slick videos and proto-memes... it took me to the last effing video that I've watch from you to actually see you... hahaha... touche

[@stevejohnson1321]

My ford focus has 999CC. It also has the optional turbot fillet, giving it 124 horsepower. Too bad there was no six-speed manual in stock when I bought it.

[@EdwardCheek]

Edward is super cute!

[@RacerGRE]

Crash test comparison please.

[@rajkimo]

The Micra will win this one too. Hard to get real damage when you won't ever go over 50... Checkmate, Bugatti! 😉

[@shaunw9270]

No joke, this generation of Micra is a design classic. Great little cars.

[@ashishsawant122]

Older version design of Nissan Micra was really nice.

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

Yeah the old mini’s (late 70s-2001) I kinda like that look. It’s growing on me. But what a sporty car! And 55 horsepower? What a beast! Wow!

[@nova-oy4qy]

a true analog car! keep up the great work.

[@nunocspinto]

How much can I relate to this review? the company that I wort for has loads of Micras like this as service cars. agree entirely with every fact, mainly regarding the point of having the patina near the gas door and plants growing by the front fender! Very prcise review

[@tactical_snails2198]

Still a very good looking ride after all the years

[@gcooper642]

Go on then... Failed my first driving test in a Micra.

[@MarcBrewer]

After that final pose, I almost expected a “Doug Score”

[@tedwalker1370]

When you do a 0 to 60 test in a car like that you need to wind it out farther in each gear. Let it rev more.

[@wildhog4251]

My brother's got a Micra and I think it's a great car, it's fun to drive and has a cool minimalistic vibe.

[@brendanukveteran2360]

Mighty Micra - 0-60 in two days, downhill. I love my Micra, slow but simple to maintain, reliable and perfectly adequate for town use. I can do every job with a fairly basic set of tools. Most "high end" cars have components which need VIN coding - and that means using a main dealer due to the high annual subscription an independent garage must pay, per make and model.......Simple is better in my view: I get in turn the key, it starts, I am dry, warm and on the move - what more do you want - an ego massage?

[@therelaxafterrevision8073]

Where do you live bro? That's beautiful countryside

[@Soepsliert]

The asymmetric tail reverse light is all the more disturbing because of the relative symmetry of the characters on the license plate: 44-GS-GG, this is beautiful with the symmetric 44 and GG, GS-44-SG would have been even better, but on the other hand would have made the taillight stand out even more.

[@ronkemperful]

Green car too? Looks a lot like my old 1995 Nissan Sentra. It also wasn't a diesel, but the engine still sounded like one for it faked a diesel knock by pinging loudly on any kind of gasoline you fed it! The Gutless Wonder - it showed its lack of oomph every time I had to pass someone or climb a hill.

[@grumpybulldog19]

Man, you don't need a radio when you have a massive engine like that to heard.

[@wendyokoopa7048]

I once spent 8 hours in the backseat of a Nissan micra cramped in with a dog I love but am allergic to, nerves Starting to fray because I couldn't listen to music, couldn't smoke, couldn't do anything, and I had no pitch room. Never again. They're great for errands, great for a childless couple or empty nesters but as a family car? No.

I have 1998 k11 1.3 injection model with 88,000 miles and no problems so far. I've owned it for five years and driven 50,000 of the total miles. Other than usual servicing, only things I changed are brake pads and front discs, and front shocks, and I replaced the radio so I can link my smart phone. It's 23 years old now and drives like new. I get 250 minimum around town on 35 litres of regular petrol up to 280 on combined use. With premium petrol I get 350 miles on 35 litres combined usage. I did my MOT test yesterday - no issues.

[@nncast00]

Not to mention the British Racing Green color!

[@Noethos]

But I already want a Nissan Micra 🥹 it's just so sad they're mad expensive here in Norway 😭😭 Ideally I want a 5 door version, k11 preferably but I won't say no to a k12 or k13 honestly 🙈🙈 it's such a small and cute vroom vroom 💜
