Mitsuoka ViewT - Nissan March meets old Jag

At the risk of this blog turning into a one about cars we have yet another small engined contender for my heart and wallet. Another perfect Wedding Photographer's car.

This is the Mitsuoka ViewT - Like the Bolero from an earlier post this is a Nissan March with a restyled body.

As with the cars I have covered before the engine in this wee beast is comparatively small, available as a 1.0 or 1.3L. For those reading closely that may come as little surprise given it is based on the same car as the Bolero that was mentioned earlier.

However, unlike the cars covered earlier this one appears to have a useable boot. Also, overall, the car looks as though it may be larger.

With a Length, Width, and height of 4250 x 1640 x 1425mm compared to the Bolero's  3705 x 1590 x 1425mm there does appear to be a slight difference. This raises a slight concern over the car's performance given that the extra length probably involves extra metal and, therefore, extra weight.

Unfortunately these are questions that I do not currently have the answer to sa I am yet to drive either of them. Perhaps a trip down to Wellington is one the cards...
