Could it be any cuter?

Test-drove a Nissan Micra today. How bleedin' cute is it? And not as cramped as I'd expected it to be. I used to own a Festiva, so I know small cars are bigger than they appear, but this one does look even smaller than the Festie. But the kids' legs would fit in the back seat there for many a long year yet - heck, *my* cows ... I mean calves ... were able to fit. Not many particularly nice colours, b/c apparently women like wussy little pastel numbers instead of the pretty jewel colours I prefer. But there is a nice garnet. Not metallic though, so I'd have to see it in the flesh to see whether it lives up to the brochure pic. Interestingly, the driver's sun-visor has a mirror, but not the passenger's. Sure, a woman's more likely to be actually driving the thing, but does that mean a man's more likely to be the passenger? What about girls' nights out? How is my friend meant to do her makeup with no mirror on her sun-visor? :P

Niggles aside, I really do like it. Hopefully one day soon I can afford to downsize to a small car, b/c the Micra's in my sights. I covet.
