Always a pleasure to watch your videos Barrie, whether it's a Micra or a 5.0 litre monster Jag. Just to mention though, your green thumbnail title still says Freelander. :)

Grrrrrr, thankyou

Liked the vid, Barrie. I owned a Nissan Micra Acenta as an ADI....63 reg. Ended up p/exing it for a Ford Fiesta TDCI....chalk and cheese between the 2 as regards handling...the Fiesta like a sports car compared to the pram like handling of the Micra. Yet...the Micra returned close to stated fuel economy....teaching learners it returned around 53mpg, which was brill. Surprised you didn`t demonstrate the back seats rolling forward up to the front seats, creating a great load space with just a pull of the floor tags behind the back seats...really useful. Love the quips about other people`s driving, it`s becoming a feature of your vids. Lol.

Thanks for watching, good point about the back seats, great little cars too 👍

Love that introduction hyper dramatic music, it sounds like you are about to drive a Bugatti Veyron 😊.

That's the plan!

Worse car I ever paid 7K for broke down after 30K miles and could not be repaired. The CVT gearboxes have a manufacturing fault and this should be mentioned in the video to warn people.

If only they made this car not look like an old people's car. It Has great tech, good on fuel, cheap to insure, 0 road tax, and pretty nippy.

I owned a 1965 Morris Minor 1000, guess that makes me Rip Van Winkle 😯.

Unusual to see a front centre armrest in such a small car.

it has a good specification

Less friction in a three cylinder engine (less parts) as opposed to a four equates to faster acceleration 🙂 NZ

I adore small underpowered cars.

then what you need is a Daewoo Matiz with air conditioning, it nearly stops when you switch on the Air Con

Loving your videos, very informative, thank you. Please may I ask? From a full tank of this car, how far would I get before I needed to refill again? I travel on the motorway to North Yorkshire from my location (102 miles) and like to be prepared. Long time since I drove a smaller engine. Thanks again.

Im guessing that the fuel tank holds around 10 gallons, and the car should get about 50mpg so you would be able to get there and back twice and still have a couple of gallons left, driven carefully on a motorway you could possibly get a higher mpg

Not much said about how good (or bad) the cvt performed (other than the overdrive button).

I’m very sorry, 25’ minutes to deep review the car, but you don’t give some seconds to show how the back seats falls down for extra cargo space;; I totally don’t understand this... 😕

@@BarrieCrampton please forgive me about my first comment... before that video, I saw a lot of other about that car, for some reasons, it's my favourite! ☺ P.s. - you have right, you can not cover always everything and everyone... it's logical.! 👌🏼

Garbage car. CVT failure before 100K kilometers. Renders the car unrepairable. Avoid like the plague. You've been warned.
