Nissan Note (2006 - 2013) 1.5 (90bhp) dCi Tekna 5d Owner Review

The car is great if you are looking for a small, practical and economical one. Worth going for a well spec'd one I think. However judging from what I have read about the Nissan Note and its suspension I would suggest having someone knowledgeable in cars check out the suspension and chassis before purchase. Especially the subframe and its bushes because if the bushes are worn then the whole subframe has to be replaced.... the subframe alone is £430. Hopefully the warranty will sort this out for me. My first Nissan a 1995 Almera I had pretty much every other year had to replace a part of the suspension on the front and I generally avoid routes with bad potholes and speed bumps with any small to medium Nissan car. However if this issue is sorted out pretty quickly I will amend this review and rate the car higher because I do like it for its practicality, space and comfort. Just one point about space. The car is very spacious for its size and as other reviews have said will comfortably accommodate 3 6ft passengers. However it won't accommodate you comfortably if you have a notorious manspreader as a passenger as the car is quite narrow and his right leg will be competing for your gear stick space.
