I actually bought and used to drive one of the new style Micras. I bought it specifically because it was the least 'cool' car I had ever seen. I used to refer to it as my anti-chav mobile.

The way you get treated just because of the car you drive is quite an eye opener. I was once driving minding my own business and was chased by a load of young boys in one of those fast and furious type cars who hurled abuse at me, threw things at my car and basically tried to intimidate me for about 5 miles. They completely failed to realise there was a 16 stone bloke behind the wheel with a crowbar underneath the seat and an ex con in the passenger seat. It was quite amusing when I purposely pulled over and they parked behind me laughing and the ex con friend of mine got out wielding the crowbar.

I know those things are fast but I doubt that car had gone that fast before or since.
