Nissan Note (2006 - 2013) 1.6 Tekna 5d (2008/08) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Values practicality but likes a car with a bit of a quirky style as opposed to something which looks like all the rest.

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

They like it a lot.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Too early to tell for sure but on limited experience yes.

What are you likely to buy next?

Either another Note or possibly a Qashqai.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£4,995

When did you buy the car?

June 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

The car had the usual full service, 12 months tax and dealer warranty for a price which seemed in line with most other dealers around the country.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I wanted a car from a reliable manufacturer with reasonable mileage, good fuel economy,not too old and at the right price. After searching the net to see what was out there this one seemed to fill the bill.

What was the dealer like?

Small independent dealer, family business established 25 years.

What's it like to drive?

Feels as though it wallows a bit on corners due to being higher with a narrower wheelbase than my last car. Good urban fuel economy and performs well on the motorway.

What's it like to park?

Have to be a bit careful when parking front first as the bonnet falls away and the front of the car is not visible. Reverse parking is easy with the tight turning circle.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Not had it long enough for anything to go wrong.

What's most practical about your car?

That's a knotty one. My last car was a Laguna and I miss the large boot, but then I don't need it that often. I think the sliding rear seats to increase the luggage space will be the most practical aspect of the car.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Bluetooth definitely, followed by the MP3 connectivity and electrically folding door mirrors.
