NISSAN MICRA. VERSION COMPARISON + ACCESSORY LIST

Nissan Micra ! woah… wht v hav seen frm Nissan till nw through their models 370z, X-trail n Teana were jst appetizers… yeah. Teana n X-trail assured u 200% value for money as their features cud b only seen in models double the cost.

370z  was pure adrenaline rush…..

bak to topic….I m here to giv  a quick idea about Nissan Micra.

Nissan Micra was officially launched in India on July 14th 2010. This is the fourth generation Micra. Yeah!! n for the ones who still hav some confusion in mind whether its a proven car when compared to the  suzukiz,  hyundais, tata n other models available in India, let me make it clear..guess wht? The first generation Micra was inroduced in 1982! in short, in this October 2010, this legend will celebrate its 28th anniversary.

I hope, ur doubts r cleared. still suspicious….? okay, take this frm me.. our dearest Maruti Suzuki 800 rolled out in 1984. So i hope evrything is cleared. 28 years of presence of a particular model, ofcourse with continuous research n development in the model.. means tht its a no nonsense peoples car.

Micra might luk soft, bt she is so strong n hard whn it comes wit it competitors. In fact, wht makes us feel tht it is soft n tiny  is its name ‘Micra’.

Also, don judge d size of Micra frm photos… Its bigger, n dere is lotza headroom

Had a test drive y’day @cochin. Will come up wit the test drive details soon….

Nissan 370z @ Oberon Mall Cochin, on 20&21-02-2010

Saw the ad in the Newspaper. Guys like us do glide through the newspaper for the pics of cars, l8tst trenDz… right. Spotted this beautiful beast Nissan 370z. Made d plan, had a kind of race with my dearest colleagues in my Renault, to d O’ mall.

Wow, Wht a car!!! I have never thought tht I believd in luv @ 1st sight. Tht beauty in red was really hot tht evrything except her went out of focus. Heading towards this lovely car, the voice of those two cheer girls through the microphone jst made me stay away from 370z.
“Come on….take a snap, be confident …come forward, u may not even buy this car in your dreams so come n take d snaps wit d car, upload it in orkut, facebuk….show d world…..” words were pouring out from these 2 cheergirls. I am sorry bt I don think tht evn they will hav d money to buy this, in their wildest dreams!!!! I was wondering whether they were kept wave away d crowd or so.

Mind u, whn a show like this is planned in cochin, it should b made sure tht there is @least 1 trained person from the dealer. bcoz nything n evrything happns in cochin.  One can c almost evry branded automobiles in cochin, whether it is Rolls Royce, Audi’s, Beemers, Mercs,Porshce,VW… n down to Nano.

Not moving away from the topic. Nissan 370z – the sixth-generation of the Nissan Z-car line, is the successor of 350Z. Many of us have luvd the sibling 350z in NFS.

Some technical stuff for the curious n impatient surfers, I know u luv 2 save time witout reading the whole stuff:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Under the hood: VQ37VHR 3.7 L (230 cu in)    DOHC V6 with Variable Valve and Lift Control

Power : 332 bhp (248 kW; 337 PS)

Transmission : 7-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters

/ 6-speed manual transmission featuring world’s first synchronized downshift rev-matching system or SynchroRev Match

Rear Wheel Drive.

Sports Package offers a differential which is hinted to be a viscous limited slip differential manufactured by Torsen.

Top speed : 252 kmph

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This beauty has reduced her wheel base by 100mm and her overall length by 69mm and increased her width by 33mm compared to her sibling 350z for much better balance.

I think that was a pretty gud intro 4 my dear frienz.

The last day, when I went to see her in the mall, I was really relieved that those two cheergirls werent handling the microphone, tht was nice.  However, I came across a sweet uncle. This was the conversation:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Uncle: hi, do u knw wht is d cost of dis car?

me: I think I read it as 53 lacs.

Uncle (with tht typical smile): ohoo.. it is cheaper than X6 right, hmmm!!!!

(L8tr he added, X6 – frm BMW….)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was wondering either he may nt knw wht is an X6, or he jst donno cars like veyron,gallardo…. which are more costly.

Is this where “Ignorance is bliss” matches?

Have a nice day!!!!!
