Does anyone drive a Nissan Micra here? Have you modded your car in any way?

I just got one and i've got to say I'm loving it! The 16v twincam engine makes a BIG difference over my old 8v Rover 111 crap! Will post some pictures tomorrow when it's daytime!

Really i don't like Japanese cars.. I think European are better,the best in the world (it's just an opinion)

have you driven all the cars in the world? or are you basing your opinion on websites and magazines (basically on somebody else's opinion)?

just wanna make it clear ;]

I think I have almost the same engine, but with a turbo

Sorry i didn't wanna to disturb anyone...I just talk about my own experience with cars.Of course, Japanese cars are very functional and American's cars are... big?? They are nice too, but if you really want to enjoy driving, ohhh, then you need an European car... faster and more secure than others... they are made (a lot of them) to enjoy while you are driving.

lmao


I don't have much experience with cars, as I don't have much need to drive, and the only cars I've ever driven were BMWs and one of them got totalled. Apart from being fuel guzzlers (with my experience), they are nice to drive though.

Don't you know diesel engines?
European diesel cars are fast, silent and they are "low-consumption vehicles"
I advise you to try it ... new diesel are very different from old engines, if you are from Finland, you must know it ( but if you don't need to drive...)

Nope, I don't need to.
I use it about on average only once a week or so, mostly because of the smallness of the 'city' I live in. I can pretty much get to my destination as fast by walking as by car.

Never was a fan of cars anyways (in the sense of drooling over them), so I got the cars off a friend's dad tax-free and cheap. As long as they get me where I'm going..

But hey, give me ten years.

10 years we may all be walking or cycling...way fuel costs are rising on the rich will be able to drive...and even them only for a short time. unless altfuel cars make an apperance soon.

No, no, no... you didn't disturb anyone. I was just wondering whether you made your conclusion based on the stuff you read on the internet. And I agree with you, I like Japanese and European cars (cars made in Europe, not necessarily European brands*) better than American cars.

But for me personally, any new car is a great car.


* some European car manufacturers open up companies around the World. Cars that come out of those factories are generally crap.

You must please see these links before you think about pimping your car, they are quite funny:
