Hello All

My name is Steve. I have in the last 6 months bought a second hand Nissan Note Tekna 1.6. All of my previous cars were Ford apart from 1 which was a Triumph TR7. That shows my age

. So my first non british car and also my first Automatic. Never been tempted to an auto before but i think its great and i cant see the point of manual now.

Great car and i am a convert. My only problem is a have discovered i am incapable of reversing it into
spaces

. For work i have driven vans and never had a problem but i dont seem to be able to judge the rear of the car very well and i wish it had a parking censor.

regards

Steve

Welcome Steve. I've got a 1.6 auto and its my first time without manual gears too. Great isn't it

welcome steve

its easy enough to fit a set of aftermarket parking sensors

Hi Steve I completely agree automatic is the way to go, I also have the tekna auto and what a great car.I always had manuals but auto is so much better to drive and I dont think the fuel consumption is bad either especially on a long run.

Hi and welcome to the club!
I have a 1.6 Tekna Manual, but its lovely!

this is my 2nd automatic, first was a 2litre 7 seater which was greedy, lucky to get 20mpg,
this is great as its a 1.6 auto that gives 30+ mpg, best i could find out of the mid sized cars i was looking at, always been a fan of Nissan, but normally the bigger cars, Bluebird was my last nissan, loved the car, wish they had carried on making them.

find the 1,6 petrol a little bit underpowered at times but all my other cars have been bigger engined, just have to remember not to try to race anyone from the lights

Hi All

Thanks for the welcome.

I have just started to look into parking sensors now. I didnt realise there were so many to choose from. I think somewhere i saw another thread about these so i will be following it.

thanks again

regards

Steve
