Found a fundamental flaw with the Nissan today....

...The horn sounds like !Removed! pee wee herman ...

It's embarrassing.. nearly let a lady just switch lanes and drive straight into me today just because of the !Removed! horn.. when I finally did 'blast' the horn, and issued a few expletives, I felt that I could hardly gesture anything or say anything when armed with a such a pathetic horn...

I'm wondering if it's warming up or something.. I mean the thing only had 5 miles on the clock, perhaps I'm the first person to hoot the horn... maybe it needs another 10-20 blasts then it'll get a raw throat and start belching out something mean! The car LOOKS pretty mean, it's chunky, got a nice front end, surely nissan feels it deserves something a bit better than what it's got!

Doubt it, most horns these days are not great. Even my mondeo has lost its low tone. The same with the ceed though, was a great car, but the horn sounded more like a 'pardon me good sir' than 'you farklord pillark'

My personal Focus sounds like "RAMMING SPEED".

The ST's horn doesn't matter too much, I let the sirens do the talking for me :p

There was a study done a few years ago. The aim was to determine the most stressful horn sound

The winner: Fiat Punto :p

The least stressful: V***hall Zafira.

Although the Astra came in a close 2nd to the little Italian Pit Pony

My favourite-

Na! You need one of these! B)

Yipes!

Worlds most annoying neighbour??

Give me back my meaty focus horn!!!!

How can you tell someone they drive like a complete tw@ when your horn sounds like Charles Hawtrey from the Carry on movies.....

F****** car!

If I ever need to find you in Plymouth Ian I'll just follow the beeps! ;) :)

define 'beep'

....the horn of this is somewhere between a high pitched personal alarm and an old bicycle born...

Listen for that and you'll probably find a raging me on the end of it... I don't think I'd rage so much if not for the fact I'm terrified of getting a ding on a brand new car!!!

.... And that driving at 15mph in a 30 zone is; in my opinion, completely unreasonable!!!!

Ian will be the one leaning out of the window of a Nissan screaming 'GET THE F### OUT OF MY WAY' :P

Not a particularly ecstatic bunny... Dropped the Nissan off and did a quick walk around my car, looked shiny as anything, they did a great job... Until I get to the rear end.. Which was problem free when I dropped it off... I see this

Peeling lacquer... I told them I wasn't too happy about that, but as they were closing the guy said he'd have to talk to his manager and then they'd call me on Monday... Getting home I did another quick check:

More peeling on the rear bumper....

Anyway I thought... That's all being processed (I'll await their decision), lets have a good old look at the nice shiny nose, lift the bonnet (well, actually have a grumble about the flip badge which doesn't flip as comfortably as the old one) and see this on the lip of the bonnet peeling paint...

So all in all, I'm not massively impressed... If I wanted the car to be shiny but ****** up, I'd have gone to the nearest sainsburys car park and asked the lads that clean every car top to bottom with the same sponge to clean mine, I expected the workmanship to be a bit better on a body shop...

I'll keep y'all posted..
