2001 Nissan Tino SE review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent all round package"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Accelerator has started sticking recently.
Bonnet has become polka dot from stone chips.
Paint finish is poor, in places there are faded patches where the paint is applied too thin.
Poor fit on the dashboard, it has begun to sink into the car leaving the fitting carpets underneath exposed.
Steering wheel mounted stereo controls can sometimes be intrusive when turning the wheel.
General comments?
Excellent all round visibility regardless of the rear headrests being relatively large.
Handles like a regular hatchback with minimal body roll in corners.
Seats can be uncomfortable on longer journey's, especially for the rear seat passengers.
Very economical considering the dimensions of the car (For example can fill the car at the pump and do a 400 mile round journey and come home with quarter of a tank of fuel still!)
Removing the rear seats is easy if a little strenuous thanks to the weight of the centre seat, but once removed the space is phenomenal (I got a whole bathroom suite consisting of bath, toilet, sink and all extra additions in one trip)
Exterior looks are mean, and the stance is low and aggressive, giving a good road presence.
