even the choice of exclusive Pearl Black paintwork, and if you are at all geographi cally challenged, the option of upgrading to include the Birdview satellite naviga tion system. Nissan will even sweeten the pot with a 36-month interest-free pur chase arrangement. The Nissan Almera Tino Hurricane
might not promise major Beaufort scale impact, hut it is something of a breath of fresh air. It does nothing that will generate
major column inches, yet ticks all the important boxes. Nissan understands this market well, having been building Prairies long before the Renault Scenic was even conceived. The Hurricane illustrates the benefit of this experience with a very strong all-round showing. ■

HE aluminium-bodied A2 stands well apart from the supermini main stream and has become a prized sig- ■nifierof cosmopolitan design savvy. The .
latest 1.4-litre petrol models are Audi’s most wanted and are now better than ever. -.- , A suite of changes to the current car sees the introduction of a Sport version at the top of the price hand; This version features lowered sports suspension and some gor geous 17‘in. nine-spoke alloy wheelqthat have to he almost worth the price of admission alone. Sports front seats with electric lumbar support finished in a satin trim are standard, as is a good leathering for the steering wheel, gear lever gaiter and handbrake cover. A Driver Information System provides information on fuel con sumption and available range. The changes do not begin and end with

the Sport version. larger fuel tanks address the issue of the A2’s limited range. Aerodynamics have also been mildly tweaked, helped by a single windscreen wiper with a streamlined blade design. The SE version gets an upgraded stereo
with a single CD player and all models benefit from a superior speaker system to plump up sound quality. A rear luggage 1 compartment cover keeps valuables from, prying eyes and the dreaded foam'sealant' can has been replaced by a space-saver spare wheel and tyre.
