Anyone considered or tried this car it looks great value at the moment
It was only £499 in the previous quarter so it has shot up in cost a lot now. Think the Skoda Enyaq would be better (cheaper) option now.
It was. The cost of BBC radio is currently paid for by everyone with a TV licence. How should it be paid for under a subscription model when presumable far fewer people will be paying to watch BBC TV? Should the cost be borne by them alone? The alternative would be the taxpayer maybe, making BBC radio state controlled..
Apparently BBC radio has nothing to do with the license fee….

The TV licence is what funds the radio side though even if you don’t need one to listen
Anyone can listen to the radio though whether they have a subscription or not, that’s the problem. How does a service anyone can use get paid for?
Make it app only so you have to login with an account to listen to it and close down the FM radio service.

With a subscription you could just subscribe to the radio/just the TV or both.
It won’t be about how much the seats can be used when the scooter is in the car as that would depend entirely on the car.
Might be worth dropping them an email to explain what the stars are for.
How pathetic people must be to have to want someone to prove they are disabled. Anyone who said this to me is welcome to my “free car” and a lifetime of pain and depression.
There are some sad pathetic people about sadly.
And if you were caught on dashcam swerving into another lane and forcing another car to take violent avoiding action and that footage was then sent to the police (even though you had to make that manoeuvre to avoid someone who pulled out on you but the footage missed that part) you would be happy with the penalty and fine/points etc then?
That assumes that you would get fine/points of course.
Why would the footage have missed it? The car is behind.
What the writer of the article also failed to mention is that Nissan (and other e-vehicle manufacturers) don’t actually have a lot of choice in this if they want to continue to sell cars to the EU. The whole of the EU is adopting the same measures. Additional background information: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jan/03/uk-carmakers-have-three-years-to-source-local-electric-car-batteries
It was not mentioned as it’s not really what the article is about – Nissan could have stopped making cars in the UK and just made them elsewhere in the EU or elsewhere but they have chosen to stay which is very good.
Cars have become much heavier so need more power to shift them. Places I want to have power – accelerating onto a congested motorway where everyone is doing 70+ in all lanes, accelerating out of danger when a lorry decides to change lanes into the space I’m occupying . Both experienced recently…
But do you need more than 200bhp to drive safely? In my opinion, no, you don’t.
My car is a Vauxhall Combo Life so bigger/heavier than most cars on the road and it has 130 bhp – that is more than enough to keep up with traffic, pull out quickly from junctions and get out of any trouble that there maybe with a lorry etc pulling out.
130bhp is the highest power output and the van version of the car I think even has an 85bhp power which is enough to shift a van with a full loads of around 1 ton.
my wife has a SEAT Ibiza if you lift the bonnet on all three may of the parts have VW stamped on them because the cars are all in reality Volkswagen’s. What’s the betting Dacia parts have Renault stamped on them?
Almost guaranteed to have Renault parts as they tend to be based on the older mechanicals to keeps costs down as well as making them more reliable as they are a known quantity.
I’ve never driven a Dacia and don’t know anyone who owns one in fact I’ve never saw one on the road around here but I understand they are sold at Renault dealers ?
Maybe it’s just very posh where you live? 🙂
what happned on wEednesday
This coming Wednesday – Joe Biden becomes president of the USA
I think because in the eyes of joe bloggs they expect us to have a car like that and for many younger disabled people that alone can put them off as its not seen as cool or even good looking. it does for me anyway
Don’t need to be disabled to think that or young…a lot of people are very much about looks rather than anything else. The manufacturers know it as well which is why they charge a lot more for anything that makes a car look ‘better’
The US foreign policy under Trump was to isolate Iran and avoiding going to war again. .
Did Obama not manage that as well?
Get the Vivaro – same size as a transit van so not huge – stop worrying about what age you are and what you drive…enjoy the trips out.
BMW 320i. I do like the look of the new Vivaro which I’m sure will be a big seller on the scheme.
Always surprised how little cars like the Vivaro or the Berlingo get mentioned on this site – thought there would be more talk of them as they are very practical type cars especially when having to lug wheelchairs/scooters/equipment etc.
I seem to have lost track of what it is that you claim individuals have less resources/money to invest in. My only arguement is if wind power is such a good idea, it would not require millions of tax payers money to provide it. The private sector would see a profit and invest its own money.
Less resources/money to invest in wind generation.
Wind generation is a long term investment – and long term investments often needs government money rather than waiting for a private company looking at long term gains. Also as far as wind generation goes a lot of private money is being spent on it.
Following the private sector we went down the oil route for fuel…which long term is not good environmentally so just looking for private investment does not always work well.
Ordered one in October last year for March delivery….looks like it will never see the light of day.Why take orders when you know your never going to produce them
Expect they didn’t know they were not going to produce one.
Does op mean they are no longer being made or just taken off Motability?
You initial post is more about what generation is required when there is no wind power and the cost of it.
I’ve never said individuals would bring it either – I said you need government to push it but you said you don’t like governments being involved in things like that and I said why I think they are needed.
