That I am practical, dependable and reliable maybe even boring?

They love it! One of my neighbours said it was a car that got you right in the heart and once you had driven it you didn't want to go back to anything else.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes I would, this is my 5th Nissan Car and they are so reliable, plus the fact I am supporting local jobs at the Nissan Washington Factory by buying this car.

Not be for a while yet, give or take 4 or 5 yrs but if the Note is still going, it will be another Note or equivilent model.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£10,357

When did you buy the car?

January 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes I got a good deal. Benfield Nissan at Newcastle were very competitive on price & discounted the car by several hundreds of pounds.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

It was perfect for my requirements. Good all-round vision, plenty of leg and headroom as I am nearly 6ft. Nissan Reliability.

What was the dealer like?

They were friendly, not pushy, gave us as much time as we needed to test drive and evaluate the car, as well as going through different other models of the car to see if they would be better for us.

What's it like to drive?

A doodle to drive. Variable Power Assistance which gives greater assistance at low speed, handy for that tight parking space. The engine is very quiet on tickover that it is almost inaudible. Very nippy on the move especialy in town traffic.

What's it like to park?

Because of the front nose it can be a bit awkward to see just how far you are away from the front, but apart from that it is a joy to park. Reversing is a doddle and the extra wide mirrors help no end.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Discovered car was delivered to garage and then to us without locking alloy wheel nuts. Garage has now put right but who was going to pay. Us? Nisssan? or The Dealer?

What's most practical about your car?

Remote Central Locking especialy when your hands are full! I also like the Flexi-board system in the boot, very handy if you have a dog!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Trip Computer! It tells you an estimate as to in how many miles the oil will need to be changed, as well as how many miles you travel before you will need to refuel.
