What Nissan Note looks a better deal?

    How did one knock up 74,000 in 3 years? Not usually company cars and that is big mileage.

    What I was thinking when I saw a 2 year old Chevrolet Spark with 60,000+ miles on. A lot of traveling in such a small car in a short space of time.

    I know you don't want to hear this but note's suck. Very poor comfort on motorways. Renault sourced engines, say no more.

    Haha, only kidding. The dci has very good mpg. If you want a diesel, always try and get the lowest mileage possible and put off any bills for as long as possible because they can be big with diesel engine problems.

    I myself am torn between the diesel note and the diesel tino.:(

    Haha, I have actually read about the not so comfertable motorway experiences with the Note. But it seems the pros far outway the cons. :D I am going to take it for a test drive tomorow at lunch, see how it is. He was able to knock a wee bit off it today. See what happens.

    When we get some snow i will pop upto my inlaws and video the mobility cars.

    Start the engines and leave them ticking over until all the snow has melted. No attempt to clear any snow off manually. Just wait until the car warms up and melts it all.

    This is the worst thing to do to a petrol car. After 50,000 miles it will have an engine thats as worn as one with 200,000 miles.

    we've got one. It's good. Also looked at the Renault Moduc which is essentially the same car but the Nissan looks better and has nicer spec. Ours is the top one with half leather etc. Sat Nav is ok, fairly easy to use and car is nippy (petrol) and I think fairly comfy. As an auto with cruise control motorways aren't an issue and it handles fairly well.

    The only complaint I would make is that it can be very noisy when revved and the fuel tank is tiny. also, the auto is up and down the box like a tarts undercrackers. Changes down a lot for even small hills which brings on the noise.

    However, the boot is great, seats are comfy. The blacked out rear windows on ours are good for the nipper and all the controls are easy to reach + use.

    Not had an issue with it in almost two years beyond servicing. Only done 13,000 miles though.
    What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?
