    I prefer a practical car that does a good job.

    It's one of 4 Notes within 100 yards so I guess our neighbours like them too.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Possibly. It's easy to drive & economical as well as spacious.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    That's more than 10 years away. I guess electric cars might be a more viable proposition by then.

    A real pleasure. It pulls well from idling, the steering is light & accurate & it goes easily through small gaps that other cars won't fit through.

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Rear window trim came loose (DIY fix) & hazard flashers sometimes come on when you switch off the ignition.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Carrying capacity & sliding rear seat - though it would be even better if the seat base lifted up or could be taken out altogether.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    I've added bright red seat covers to match the paint. It really lifts the interior.
