1. If I wanted to watch 2 blokes staring at their laptops I would have gone to Gail’s.

2. Acrually the parts aren't the same althoug built to the same spec reason why the Micra is only £1500 from ecg although it has been confirmed that it will be getting full grant which the Micra today as now using EU parts and will be delivered on 2nd week April if it doesn't get pushes back. I placed the order in September

3. Spotted a cheap-out detail: the manual climate temp toggle switch stays the farthest left switch in the cluster even though it's a right-hand-drive car. At least Renault banks the switches in the right direction though.

4. Renault for me. A more cohesive design and seems like the more fun car, both in terms of driving and looks.

5. In this video two guys review two of the exact same cars, except for minor body panel changes. In my opinion the R5 just looks better though. I personally bought the Alpine A290 GTS, which really is different, despite the same body frame and battery (different suspension, brakes, more powerful drive system, subframes, interior, software, wheels and tyres, car is wider, all different body panels).

6. And who in Nissan thought this would be a good idea? Sell a Nissan R5 in Europe? a car with more than 40 years of history and it is engrave in our minds …. holly s … and we still ask why the world is how it is.

7. Seen the renault 5 yesterday in person it's mid at best

8. Micra looks awful compared to the previous model 😔😔😔😔

9. Yuck 🤢 Yellow cloth interior.

10. RENAULT 5😍😍😍😍😍

11. That Nissan is pig ugly 😳

12. It’s a simple choice really…..one of the cars is a legend, the other is a Micra! I don’t like EVs as I’m a born petrol head, love driving real cars with manual gearboxes and I spend my free time working on cars. However the R5 is the only EV I’d actually want to buy, looks great and is a great testament to the two R5’s I had when I was a kid.

13. No, which is better. "Best" only applies to 3 or more

14. Entire video to say: there is no difference, pick which one looks better for you

15. Wayyyyyyyy over prize

16. find den Micra schöner ❤

17. Servicing costs/ intervals? Always seems to be forgotten about.

18. Since buying a Renault 5 I have had numerous people stop me in car parks to say how much they like it’s looks. Never had that with a car before and fairly sure that wouldn’t happen with the Micra.

19. Proof that the powers that be have decided we're all going to drive clones. How quaint. Another reason not to buy an EV.

20. Sad time for drivers all cars based on same platforms just re skined exteriors 😢😢😢

21. 100 pounds a week for 4 years and it’s not yours 😅- 100 quids worth of diesel gets me a long long way

22. Based on looks alon, I'd say the Micra is the more aerodynamic. The 5 has a much harder angle look to it. Only by fitting the same tyres to both cars would we know for sure.

23. Like both cars but, ignoring the cars, is it just me or can others only really hear one presenter articulating clearly?

24. Claustrophobic black lining to the roof makes both cars look dark and small. 'Rounded' cars are also more aero efficient, might also play a part!

25. Give your money to the French and use EDF too. R5 is great, viva.

26. Made from recycled bottles? At a time when we are being told we are absorbing and inhalling microplastics.

27. Side profiles they look the same car

28. Nissan Micra är bättre än Renault 5

29. 4 suitcases my arse.
    I bet they're carry on cases at best. And does the tailgate actually shut?
    These days you'll struggle to get 3 full-sized suitcases in a medium sized SUV with at least 100 litres more space.

30. My height? What is that? How tall are you?

31. Visually – like the look of both cars.
    Renault 5 for me (in yellow or maybe green) & a blue Micra for 'er indoors'.
    But it will never happen!
    Why?
    'Cos I'm not a fan of EVs.
    Limited mileage between recharge.
    Transitional battery technology (it's still being developed).
    Drop off in performance in cold weather.
    Lugging all that dead weight around as the batteries expel their energy.
    Petrol cars become lighter the more of their energy you consume.
    EVs become (relatively) heavier as the batteries drain away.
    So I'm not having an EV.
    Shame they're not making petrol versions….

32. Considering the Micra is popular with older people way too much tech.

33. I like the Micra looks more

34. Can’t think of an objective reason right now but subjectively for me the Micra looks grim

35. Forget all the tests, use your eyes! The Renault looks brilliant.

36. Nothing about warranties ????

37. Quelle horreur cette traduction . C'est bien dommage .

38. The back support comes also with the winterpack. So you can also get it with the techno trim.

39. inutilmente belle ,non le compra nessuno
