    I had a Micra at 20 and sold it when I was 28/28. I didn't drive much but the Micra done the job and got me around the UK to far destinations. My one wasn't really good on fuel I got like 37 average. Very fun though used to fly around corners and roundabouts. Never felt embarrassed but I realised people would laugh especially girls. You need to have confidence to drive this haha.
