A peppy and useful hatchback

I was never inclined on buying a hatchback as I had never been a fan of it and always wanted to buy a sedan. However, few of my friends asked me to try out the Nissan Micra and I was not ready at first. But then since they insisted a lot, I decided to give this hatchback a try. I was actually impressed with the design of this compact car when I first saw it. When I sat behind the steering wheel, I was impressed by the decent amount of knee room and headspace it offered along with some modern features. I personally liked the drive quality of Micra and its handling as it turns so smoothly without much effort and the engine felt pretty good for a hatchback as well. The drive was very comfortable and was enough to atleast help me get rid off of the hatred towards compact cars. I still have some other options to scout, but who knows, I might even end up buying a Micra.
