Never a truer word spoken in this case! LOL

OMG !! I just googled this motor and oy vey what an odd shape for any car, never seen one before in our area, you poor thing I guess you should keep it as it's look like they will become a classic one day (many sites crown this as the ugliest car of our time).

I hope Nissan is not going to sell an extra body kit for this. I suppose it's a kind of a marmite car as some critics loves it.

Hi all,

I bought a new car in March on finance (first time I've ever done this).

I haven't got on that well with the car, the fuel economy hasn't been as good as promised and we've also moved house and it takes up so much room on the driveway that I've been parking it on the road.

I'd really like to think about trading it in for a smaller car in March but would this be totally crazy? I've got one of those 3 yr finance deals with a balloon payment at the end, I could wait til the end of that which was my original intention but I'd rather change it sooner if possible.

Any advice?

Advice ? -- keep it for 3 years and hand it back

On MSE no serious moneysaver buys a new car.;)

99/100 that is because of the way the person is driving it and the type of journey they're doing.

I'll take a wild stab and say "short in town journeys?"

I did... with the money I'd saved by being a serious moneysaver.

I saved some serious money with the deal I got too.
