That said, the car does not lose posture while cornering and I was thankful for that — especially whenever I had to throw the car onto oncoming traffic at the numerous artificial chicanes the traffic police had devised to keep speeds in check. Also helping matters was a very direct steering. In short, the Micra feels like a bigger and more comfortable car than it has any right to.
Keyless ignition system and the start-stop button in the top-end models is a party trick that will get its share of followers. The Rs 45-odd lakh Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X FQ300 did not have a start-stop button… just to drive the point home! In a move that must have been triggered by number crunchers as well as clinics, a driver-side airbag is standard across the board, while ABS is available only for the top-end XV model. ABS prevents accidents and is critical for Indian road conditions, where we are always braking and avoiding (people, cattle, stationary vehicles...) and it should have been standard equipment instead of the airbag.
