anyone drive a nissan almera tino?

[misdee]

we have just agreed to one on the mobility scheme. do u find it ok? i'm gonna work really hard at my driving lessons so i can be driving it asap.

Has it got those reversing beepers, misdee?

(Would love to have those!)

i dont know. dh was reversing whilst i was letting the kdis run riot in the showroom. they love it, especially as the middle seat will come down to a table for them. it has so many little gadgets in it. we dont get it till mid-late june (as they wont have any in stock till then) so i am just wondering what others think. I want the top spec model, with the rear view camera, map computer thingy, sat nav, and the electric sunroof, but we can only get the S model, which still haves a nifty little computer in it and climate control (which was lovely when we were test driving it the other day and it was stupidly hot for april)

well, fwiw, I chose not to have a sunroof in my car and always make DH close his (boils my brains) and although his car has satnav we generally don't use it.

Know nothing about the rear view camera (is that not the beeper sensors on the back above the bumper?) or map computer thingy, my car has A/C which is great (not climate control but blows icy when you want it), I think his has climate control - ie you can set a temp - but don't notice any difference.

no, its actually a camera, so u check there is no kids standing behind u, or people walking behind the car. looked wikked. must say actually, had a sunroof on two of our old cars and actually hardly used them.

just feel better knowing we wont have to change the car if i actually ever fall pregnant and have another baby.

Well we're just about to buy the Almera SE Extras (at £9995) due to a catastrophic MOT on our old Rover! Does look a very good deal and dh said it was nice to drive. Nothing else in its class (that meets our size & reliability criteria) that we could afford. I know the SE Extras has the reverse parking beepers (have this on the Micra - told dh I didn't want a car that didn't have them ) - not sure about the Almera Tino S.

I've had a Micra for 2 years now and love driving it, am hoping the Almera engenders the same feelings

I have been driving a tino for about 1.5 yrs now, after driving micras for at least 5 years before that. My big gripe is that the rear view is very poor compared to other cars , I have twice reversed into things...(no beeping machines on mine!!!) and even dh thinks it is not good. Also, my a/c is cr*p compared to the micra.....my theory is that itis the same unit in a much bigger car...not usre if this is true, but although it is cool infront....it NEVER cools down the back so my babies are always sweaty as hell in the extreme heat and we can only go short journeys.
SOrry for being negative....otherwise the car is fine!

good job dd1 can unwind windows then hehe. we're getting the 1.8 S.
