Cars, Security & a Peek into my Life

A Fast Look at Nissan’s all-new Micra

Canada’s best-priced car at $9,998. I predict we’re about to see this thing everywhere.

On sale now. Here’s the site – Nissan Micra.

This video is one of the first video reviews online in the country.  Oh no no, I’m not competitive :|  YA I am.

I also threw this video up on Viddy, it was my 100th video there, and it’s doing well at 2,600+ views.

NOTE: the reason why there’s an absence of driving and handling impressions, is because there’s an embargo in place until Friday about that.  Here’s what an embargo is, and only a jerk breaks one.

 

 

I’m in MTL with Nissan and their all-new Micra

This week, Nissan is launching their all-new Micra – Canada’s best-priced car $9,998.

I predict we’ll be seeing these everywhere soon, because at that price, you can now buy a new car instead of a used one.

It’s got some European flair eh. But, it’s designed specifically for Canada, and available only here.

Hi from the W Hotel.

Nissan invited KeriBlog, kind’ve a big deal, because that’s the same invite as the newspapers and big outlets… and me.

Here’s the blog tag, and here’s the link to Nissan, and here’s me rushing to dinner now.

Test day is tomorrow!

So. Pumped.

 

 

There’s No Avoiding Paying the Destination Fee

Different than the “delivery fee”, the destination charge is the cost of shipping the car from factory to dealership.

It’s never included in the price, and you can’t negotiate out of paying it, it’ll just never happen.

Read it online at Autonet.

Favourite line:

When you’re shopping, I’d recommend adding at least $1,200 CDN to the price, and then do your math based on that total.

Nissan invited KeriBlog to Montreal with the Micra

Remember a couple weeks ago, when I said KeriBlog had a big win? And that when the ticket was booked, and the win solidified, I’d tell you about it?

Done.

Nissan invited my blog to their Canadian launch of their 2015 all-new Micra.

As in, I got the same invite as the newspapers and magazines.

And first wave too, not thrown in at the end of the program.  Tada!

Here’s my bigger blog post about the Micra, which is built specifically for Canada, and, with a starting price of $9,998, will be the lowest priced car in the country.

Thanks Nissan, this had a bigger affect than you may realize.
