    Is the Nissan Note not just a box on wheels?

    I have a spacesaver on my accord. Used it once. Drove slowly, there is a speed limit, about 50mph I think.
    Remember the time he ate my goldfish? And you lied and said I never had goldfish. Then why did I have the bowl Bart? Why did I have the bowl?

    Are you aware Nissan are now offering deals with diesels for the price of a petrol. Only properly annouced today... May be worth just double checking any potential deal....

    OP, consider buying from Motorpoint by the way.

    I bought my car from them and saved quite a bit. If I remember rightly they had some brand new and pre-reg Nissan Notes. I know because I was considering one myself (decided on a new Corsa in the end though).

    Must admit we looked at the Nissan Note for wifey a few months ago.

    Everything seamed fine with it, economic diesel, leather seats etc, but we just didn't like the look of it at all.:www: :www: :www:

    Don't worry about space saver tyres, at least they ensure you don't get stuck because the puntured tyre you got 6 months ago is still in the boot:eek: :eek:
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    Thank you for all those replies.

    I think I will try and get them to put a proper spare in.

    I think the point escapes you, they can't put a full size spare in, you would have precious little boot space left, and you don't need one. Without offence, look again at the replies :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
