The Nissan Micra is now available with an Xtronic automatic transmission for the first time since the all-new fifth generation car was launched in 2016. It is linked to the same all-new 1.0-litre IG-T 100 PS engine detailed above.

In this day and age, it can be very tempting to just throw one’s hands up and replace something broken, or in the case of cars, just give up and trust the dealership to fix it. Granted, when the chips are down and your only ride is out of commission, sometimes the choice is out of our hands. But something to remember in this replacement culture is that repair can be possible, and can even be remarkably easy.

Kia confirmed the recall and improvement campaign in statements issued Wednesday after The Associated Press found in Canadian government records that the recall is being done in that country. Hyundai, a larger affiliate of Kia that uses the same engines and also has had failure problems, said it will take similar actions.

Enter any fuel station and you’ll see a whole range of different fuels, especially the premium offerings. You’ll see regular unleaded, or 91-octane, premium unleaded 95, premium unleaded 98, E10 unleaded, E85 ethanol, diesel and premium diesel.

This is why I bought a used oddball hybrid that was sold and registered in a CARB state to get the extended hybrid warranty.

You’re talking about $180 every 5,000 miles for the BG three-step, which really isn’t as effective for a DI engine as their four-step is. BG makes great stuff, but DI doesn’t save $180 of gasoline in 50,000 miles, let alone 5,000.

No, not just because American buyers open their wallets for anyone hawking a high-riding vehicle; rather, because an influx of cash would help stabilize Honda’s balance sheet.
