For a young family which would you rather have, think we will go for the Nissan Note......

    Ford Focus to be honest - but out of those two, the Auris.

    For a family, the Note. I haven't examined a Note for some time but if their build and materials quality has not deteriorated like Toyotas then it's an easy decision.
    Toyota are relying on past reputation because both the Auris and Yaris are cheap and nasty at a premium price! Yes, Toyota are in a different league - the second division.

    Toyota Warranty = 5 years.

    Nissan Warranty = ?????

    The both seem to get pretty good reviews, there's links to reviews of each here - Nissan Note reviews, Toyota Auris reviews

    You might also want to consider the Citroen C3. It beat the Nissan Note in this group test - Autoexpress test

    Kia Venga may be worth a look too, as it comes with a 7 year warranty - Kia Website

    Ever driven an Auris?

    Cheap and nasty. Nothing like the Corolla it replaced.
