Contradictory to the fact that many think the Nissan Micra is appearing on the Canadian market for the first time, the nameplate was actually sold here nearly thirty years ago. Determined to find out whether or not the most affordable car for sale is a penalty box or an actual viable option, we set ourselves up with a week testing the Nissan Micra S, the bare-bones base model, courtesy of our friends at Nissan Canada.
