2003 Nissan Tino SE+ from UK and Ireland - Comments

Nothing.

36 MPG over 2000 miles

Excellent driving position

Light and positive controls

Some wind noise at speed.

Rear seats difficult to fold or remove.

I have found the rear seats very easy to move or remove. I take the family camping every year and always remove the middle seat to allow for more equipment to be taken. Once we're on site, I move the 2 outer seats in a little so the kids have more comfort whilst we're out and about on holiday. Very well thought out seating!

I agree with the comment regarding wind noise. Appears to be in part caused by the radio aerial. I notice that newer Tino's have the aerial at the front, whilst older models have them at the back. I wonder if the older one's are quieter?

I can't get close to 36 mpg. The best I have achieved is 31.3 on a 200 mile journey to Cornwall. That is without air conditioning on, and at a steady 60 to 80 miles per hour.

Strangely the consumption is very little worse around town, averaging 30 mpg. Odd...?

I have just purchased The Tino SE and immediately noticed a whistling noise at about 50mph - anyone any ideas as to what causes this?

I suspect the rubbers at the top corner windscreen/ doors, but have yet to try anything.

I have had my Tino 2.2 diesel for 3 years, I have checked fuel consumption at every fill and have always got 42mpg overall. I have driven it to Italy twice and achieved 46 on longer runs. No problems although I also noticed the wind noise.
