Nissan Note (2006 - 2013) 1.6 SE 5d (2006/06) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Am I really old enough for this car? (I'm 62). Every time I see another Note I always look at the driver and they always seem so old. I suppose I look old to others too.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

A bit surprised after driving Volvos for 18 years.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes. It's good looking, good to drive and cheap to run.

What are you likely to buy next?

Depends what I see on the day I happen to be looking.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£7,950

When did you buy the car?

September 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

I got what I wanted for PX and didn't haggle over the price.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I was downsizing from a Volvo XC70 and have previously owned 8 Nissan/Datsun so I knew they were reliable. I liked the Note for its practicality and it suited my requirements.

What was the dealer like?

So-so

What's it like to drive?

Cruises comfortably at 70 on motorways with power in hand for overtaking if required. A bit jerky at lower speeds around town, even in lower gears.

What's it like to park?

Doddle to park, especially with reversing sensors.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Needed new servo after 4 days.

What's most practical about your car?

Roominess
