NISSAN NOTE 1.4 S 5dr (2006)

A sound buy, really impressed and no problems to report

I currently share this car with my mum, I couldn't quite understand why she got this over a normal supermini like the 207 and the new Clio. But i'm beginning to see why and I thought I'd share my views on here!

The biggest plus for us is the size of the boot, for a car of this size, its very good indeed, extends into the floor and obviously increases with the seats slid forward. We have two medium sized dogs and they fit in perfectly with the seats as far forward as possible. And then when we don't use the boot, the rear seats go really far back making plenty of room for passengers in the back.

We aren't really keen drivers but the engine is reasonable and tolerable for this type of car, it is very quiet and manages to pull its load very well. We also find it a very easy car to drive. I've been told that the 'drive' isn't quite as good as smaller rivals but that it is still capable of going fast if you want to, admittedly, we bought it for space rather than performance.

I struggled to see the point of this over other slightly smaller superminis but as usual, mum was right! It is a genuinley good car, very easy to live with and hasn't caused us any hassle so far.
