Nissan Note 1.6i (2006) CAR review

By Ben Whitworth

What is this? It looks like a supermini with elephantiasis.

Its the Nissan Note, the production version of last year's Geneva show concept car, the Tone. Together with the Qashqai softroader and the crushingly dull-looking Tiida which arrive this time next year, it effectively replaces the Almera and Tino.

A segment buster then. Who's going to buy it?

It's aimed at parents on a tight budget who want something big enough to swallow the kids (and all that goes with them) without emptying their wallet.

RE: Nissan Note 1.6i (2006) CAR review

Looks like the Nissan Note has actually been bought a lot through disability schemes as the huge interior area & boot is great for wheelchairs etc, and older people opting out of a Micra into something with a higher roofline making getting in and out easier. I see a suprising amount out on the roads.
