The N-tec is now the N-Connecta

I was originally going for a pre-reg N-Tec+ but realised I could get a slightly used Tekna for the same money and the extra goodies were significant.

The brochure currently notes:

IN ADDITION TO N-Connecta:

SAFETY
• Safety Shield Technologies including:
- Blind Spot Warning
- Moving Object Detection
- Driver Attention Alert

INTERIOR STYLING
• Graphite leather trim*

EXTERIOR
• 19’’ Alloy wheels
• Satin silver roof rails

VENTILATION AND VISIBILITY
• Bi-LED headlights
• Automatic headlight leveliser

CONVENIENCE
• Electrically adjustable driver’s seat with manual lumbar support
• Heated front seats
• Intelligent Park Assist
• Thermaclear heated windscreen

OPTIONS**
• Panoramic glass roof with one-touch shade [on about 60-80% of cars]
• 17’’ Alloy wheels [very rarely seen]
• Sports Alcantara with light grey leather interior and dark headlining [very rarely seen]
• Spare Wheel Pack

Never mind the jacket - is he wearing leggings?

Neither of the petrol versions are that marvellous for mpg, falling somewhat short of Nissan's claimed figures. The diesels fare somewhat better, the 1.5 being the most frugal and having a quieter engine.

As I can see there isnt much different between Tekna and N-Connecta in that case if i'm wrong? If you just know quickly. do you know the difference?

Well. For some reason we have diesel right now and its been drinking huge amount and I don't know. My father was saying he wanted a petrol and a automatic. So I guess I have to search for that.

Thank you sir! Think its better go for Tekna since it isnt that much difference on price between N-Connecta and Tekna.

Gloucester just listed every difference between the N- Connecta and the Tekna!

There's only one automatic petrol model and that's the 1.2, so if your father insists on petrol then the only choice left is the spec.

We have a 1.2 and drive mainly around our local town, our average fuel consumption is showing at 39.8m.p.g.
this is pretty much what we get all the time,on a good run it can go up to about 46m.p.g. In Eco mode.
Not amazing,but is way better than the 23m.p.g. we got from our previous motor.
As for the drive it is quite a big car being pushed by a 1.2 engine but once you get over the fact that it isn't a 2 litre car,it gets up and goes very well and you will be more than happy with the performance,with the turbo it has just as good if not better performance than the old 1.6 litre non turbo petrol engine it replaced.
