Which model? Petrol or the 2.0 diesel?

I fancy one of them, but I think they're a bit overpriced. And I'm still
not convinced that modern (ie: Renault-overseen) Nissans are reliable.

Well, one could say that you've got the proof parked outside the

I plumpt for the 1.5 diesel (the 2.0 is only just coming off the
produciton line)
mainly because I wanted the top spec Tekna model but cheap tax (140
emissions)
and dropping from a 30k car to a 16k car. I travel 100 miles a day on
the A3 and tonights run
was fine, plenty of power, quite pleasently surprising. Just a bit of
diesel lag and no chance dropping a gear or two
to overtake, but thats what the bikes for

You'll be impressed by the satnav. Really, very, very good though -
oddly - it doesn't have a postcode search function.

Yes the whole computer thing is quite clever, been playin with it this
morning

Oh and the bluetooth if brilliant, except it continues to play the CDs
behind the scenes
as it were. After a 1/2 hour conversation you find your on the next CD and
have missed
half an album.
Oh, got beaten off the lights by a chick in a 1.4 Pug 206 this morning :-(

q represents a uvular plosive rather than the velar plosive denoted by k.
in some languages these are as different as t and p are to you.

SWMBO scrounged an encyclopedia of the world's peoples and cultures from

It doesn't say whether Tartan travel rugs are amongst their repertoire or
not, though.

Oh, I'm aware of the technical answer. However, it doesn't apply in
the language spoken in the country where I live; Nissan should have
chosen a better name.
