Six-speed Almera is the frugal choice

These are great cars. Nissan abandoned this simple hatch market, but all you need to know about this 2005 Almera Tino 1.8 SE is that it has air-con and that it starts and drives. Plus, remarkably, it has a six-speed gearbox. The 1.8 is a big old economical engine that should return close to 50mpg. The dealer also says that the car, priced at £790, is a bargain and it won’t take offers below that. Buy it.
