Nissan Note

The Nissan Note is spacious and practical. It's aimed at buyers looking for a decently priced, versatile alternative to a standard family hatchback like the Ford Focus, and is well equipped and good to drive. Choice within the range is limited - with just three engines on offer – but there's no shortage of luxury or comfort.

  • Pros:
    • Versatile interior

With sliding rear seats, an upright driving position and spacious interior, the Nissan Note is a practical family car wrapped up in a supermini-sized package. Three engines are offered - although the smallest 1.4-litre petrol powered car feels overwhelmed if you load it with passengers and luggage. Best choices are either the 1.6-litre petrol or the 1.5 dCi diesel, as both give the Note big-car performance to match its big-car cabin.
