Oi! Leave me out of this...
I recognise him... can't remember what he reviewed that I thought was a piss poor review....
Might have been the Haval H6C or something....
But we've all been spoilt from a review point of view, but the good international guys, that the local boys just seem subpar.

Nissan to Introduce More Powerful Micra
Nissan is set to expand the new Micra range with a model that includes both a more powerful engine and sound system.
The new Micra, which is based on the Renault Clio platform) has been on sale in SA for 18 months without making too much noise on the sales charts. Its sibling, the Clio continues to rake in the sales well into the twilight of its lifecycle (the new model will be here in 2020).
Currently, there is only one engine output available - a 66 kW/140 Nm 3-cylinder petrol version with a minute 899cc. As of mid-November, there will be a new engine to choose from as well. A Nissan-built 1.0 DIG-T (turbopetrol) with 84 kW and 180 Nm of torque. This engine is available in overseas markets where it propels the Micra to 100 kph in 9.9 seconds and uses 5.0L/100 km on the combined cycle test.

Perkier version of the Nissan Micra landing in SA soon
The latest-generation Nissan Micra is fairly easy to sum up - it’s a stylish car with a classy cabin and good all-round refinement, but the 900cc turbopetrol engine has a narrow power band, and could use a few extra ponies.
That solution is just about to land, with Nissan South Africa announcing that a new version of the fifth-gen Micra, simply called the 1.0t, is arriving shortly.
Most of the details, as well as pricing, are still under wraps, but we do know that the range addition will be powered by Nissan’s new 1-litre DIG-T turbopetrol engine, which produces 86kW and 180Nm, with an additional 20Nm available on overboost. That’s 20kW and 40Nm more than the 900cc turbopetrol unit fitted across the current Micra range.
It’s a more sophisticated engine in many respects, the DIG-T unit boasting direct fuel injection, with injectors mounted centrally in the combustion chamber to create a more targeted fuel spray pattern. The engine is likely to be paired with a six-speed manual transmission as per overseas models.
According to Nissan SA, the Micra 1.0t will also feature lowered suspension and a Bose sound system.

Nissan puts a price tag on perkier, 84kW Micra
Nissan is expanding its Micra range with a more powerful 1-litre turbo engine, and now local pricing has been made available on the Nissan South Africa website.
According to the specs page, the new engine doesn’t completely replace the current 66kW, 140Nm, 900cc three-cylinder turbopetrol engine, which continues to be offered at the lower end of the range in Visia (R252 800), Acenta (R279 400) and Acenta Plus (R295 400) spec grades.
The new 1-litre DIG-T engine, which is good for 86kW and 180Nm, is available in Acenta Plus (R305 900), Tekna (R326 300) and Tekna Plus (R336 900) guises, and in the former case it commands a mere R10 000 premium over the 66kW version, which is well worth it in our book.
The new 1.0 DIG-T engine is more sophisticated in many respects, boasting direct fuel injection, with injectors mounted centrally in the combustion chamber to create a more targeted fuel spray pattern. The motor is paired with a six-speed manual transmission only, while the 66kW versions continue with a five-speed manual, and there is currently no word on whether an automatic gearbox option will ever be offered.

Paying over 300K for any normal hatchback like a Micra , Fiesta , Mazda2 , Polo and whatever else is just ludicrous.

I just don't get why autos aren't first class citizens. Pretty sure the majority of people would want an auto and only a select few "petrolheads" who think it will interfere with the driving dynamics in peak hour city traffic care about manuals. Make everything auto and bring the top spec as both auto and manual.

I only have the 900cc Acenta Plus but I can tell you it is a nice car. I do still miss my old Thar though(I miss 4x4ing) so might actually trade in in a couple of years on a Mahindra again.
But I cant take anything away from the micra. Really nice drive and low on fuel.

Interesting. Not sure why they are are being extremely obtuse about the automatic transmission option.
