Nissan Note reviews

I find the Note extremely suited to my lifestyle. The movable rear seat means plenty of legroom when carrying family and friends and plenty of luggage space for holidays and visits and big shops! It is ideal for my disabled husband to enter and exit and I like the good driving position and view of the road.

Purchased as "one previous owner" in excellent condition. After a couple of (new) Corsas the difference in comfort was most satisfying. We go from Huddersfield to our daughter's in Newcastle quite often and the journey is far less tiring. My main gripe is that with a very sensitive accelerator I find it quite easy to over rev. and have had to have a couple of new clutches as a result! Must get an automatic next time!!!

I bought the Note second-hand when my Labrador started to struggle getting in and out of my elderly Range Rover. I chose it because I already had a Nissan 350Z which has proved to be reliable, it is built in England and I don't like any of the shooting brakes currently available. It has proved to be a super little car. It takes off quite fast and cruises very happily on the motorway. The downside is that it is a guzzler of fuel for a relatively modern small car (35.8 to the gallon, which is only marginally more than my 20 year old Discovery!) I intend to keep it until it falls apart but I'll never become emotionally attached to it the way I was to the Rangey or am to the Disco.

We find the Note a very practical car, others have remarked how roomy the inside is and takes all our luggage for 4 for a long weekend. Economical, good comfort even on a long journey

Not our first Note and we remain highly satisfied. Our first diesel though and amazed at the fuel economy this gives over the petrol version. The vehicle is roomy, comfortable and an easy drive. We can take our grandchildren with us with no problem As a retired person the ease of access to the vehicle is very important, our Note ticks all the boxes.

It has proved to be a good family car which both myself and my wife are happy driving, The design makes it easy to get our two small children in and out and the sliding rear seat makes useful additional luggage space when the children are in the back. Fuel consumption is good averaging about 45mpg. The car has proved reliable and was delivered fault free and had no faults at it first service which is tribute to the Nissan quality. The Nissan Garage provide a good quality service. The roof mounted luggage box provides additional luggage space for family breaks.

Bought car to downsize from Rover. Very impressed with space and performance. Extras such as sat nav and cruise control very welcome. Appearance slightly ugly but improves with time to accept.very economical for long journeys.

overall a good and comfortable car that has given me no problems in the 7 years l have had it

Excellent roomy car with ample boot space

My sole criticism of this car is reference the rear seat design, when folding the rear seats they do not form a flat load platform (like say the Honda Jazz). Otherwise an ideal car for both local & longer runs. The auto gearbox works extremely well & has solved my problem of driving with an arthritic left shoulder.

Useful crossover vehicle. Driving position adapts to fit short and tall people.

This get us around. It is functional. the luggage space can be increased by pulling the rear seats forward. There is an option to have level loading for the luggage space. Overall a practical piece of equipment.

excellent mpg, 50 + mpg very spaceous and roomy, not racy, more for the older more reliable driver. very pleased with the finish. no problems with reliability, would recommend nissan no problem, my 2nd nissan, my wife has a juke,my son a primera. 3 neigbours have nissans also.

A great car! I will have had my Note for 8 years by the time I replace it next summer (and I already have the buyer lined up). For versatility (ability to switch between carrying people and loading with 'stuff', 100%. For running costs, 100% (best I've ever known). for hiding places for keys and money, 100%. Sometimes, on long journeys (around 5 hours) I have experienced leg pain but I can fiddle around with the seat settings and find a more comfortable seating position for driving. My only criticism would be the car's appearance which is very boxy, and its least attractive feature (didn't put me off buying one though!). However, the new Note has sorted that out and that is what I will be buying next Summer when I have the funds.

Very pleased with all features, on second model Have taken it to Scotland with 4 passengers and luggage with no problems. Very useful for our dog, easy for him to get in and out.

The Note is good for our lifestyle as my husband is disabled and the higher front seats make it easier for him to access. It is a comfortable ride in the front. I like the higher seats and good driving position. It's performance is good around town and on motorways. The facility of being able to move the back seat to get a larger boot is a great asset.

As an senior citizen I found it quite difficult to get into and out of an ordinary saloon type car. I found my Nissan Note and would,nt part with it. Its easy to get into and out of, very reliable, easy on petrol, roomy,altogether my ideal car. ( Im not sure how to describe it, saloon or hatchback).

While not a very big car on the outside, it is like a tardis on the inside. It seats 5 adults comfortably with the back seat in the back position, lots of leg and head room, even my 6' 5" husband can sit in it reasonably comfortably. My version features some boards in the boot which make it easy level loading for small amounts of shopping etc, but if I am carrying a lot, the boards come out leaving a hollow and the back seats slide forward to give a very generous boot space. The back seats also fold forward easily to enable quite large loads to be accommodated. I do quite a lot of short and medium journeys and average about 40-42 mpg which is very satisfactory, the insurance is quite low, and yet it is quite happy to cruise along at 70mph without strain. The slightly higher driving position is excellent for those with mobility problems and short people. A great vehicle for anybody!

Driver storage / cupholder could be better. Dealer fitted front parking sensors are unpredictable. Heating blows cold as soon as desired temperature reached. Costly factory fitted sat nav updates.

I bought the car mainly for my less-mobile, older parents. They both find it relatively easy to get in and out of the passenger and back seats. When the back seat is pulled all the way back there is plenty of legroom. There is also plenty of headroom in the back. I find the ability to move the back seat to increase the luggage or passenger space very useful. I would recommend this car to any one with older passengers.
