Note: The right choice.

i find the boot usefull when its split 50/50 (front board as a upright divider)

with the boards in place its ideal when you have the back seats down as it gives a level ish loading area what means you dont have to lift stuff out the boot

If you put the boards in carpet side down it gives you a non slip area

with the seats still up if you slide them forward it gives you that extra room for that big shopping trip

 

had 3 adult bikes in the back of mine not a problem and one time a 300 litre fish tank

I had 3 Maxis over 20 yrs then 4 Favorits, all very second-hand and cheap. The Note (56 reg) is my newest car, bought for wife who doesn't drive, so I'm chauffeur (and gofer). I don't like it much, except for ease of access. The final drive ratio would suit a van/pick-up, so mpg would be better with a lower ratio. The pedals are too light so I get negligible feedback (designed for dainty feet?). The windscreen pillars obscure critical areas, especially at junctions. The ign key is needed for radio and windows. The radio loudness control is push-button instead of rotary - hardly a safety feature. The ign keyhole is hard to find in the dark. The remote locking has a ludicrously huge range (over 50ft) and the pads on the key are easily pressed by accident. If you've all day I'll find more ... but SWMBO likes it, so I'm stuck with it.

I'll admit to approving of the variable boot size and the seat height. If I find any more pro points I'll let you know.

HOWDY ALL

JUST GOT MY NOTE 1.6 SE AUTO 2007 3 WEEKS AGO MOVED DOWN FROM 2.5 DIESEL AUTO

KIA SORRENTO 4X4 BIG BUGGER , THOUGHT I WOULD BE DISSAPOINTED DRIVING SMALL CAR. AS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING 4X4S FOR YEARS NOW .BUT DUE TO MEDICAL PROBLEM NEEDED CAR WITH EASY ACCESS WELL HAVE JUST DONE 1078MLS LAST WEEK ;HOLIDAY IN CORNWALL LANDS END AREA .COULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN BETTER CAR ,BETTERED ALL 4X4S EXCEPT FOR VISABILITY COULD NOT HAVE GOT PARKED ANYWERE IN 4X4 MOST FISHING VILLAGES I WOULD NOT HAVE GOT DOWN STREETS . OVERALL MPG 2 ADULTS 1 STAFFIE PLUS 2 FULL SUITCASES 45MPG CRUISED 80-85 ALL THE WAY DOWN AND BACK CAMERAS PERMITTING!! WHAT A CRACKING LITTLE MOTOR

 

i had been toying with the idea of getting a note for sometime, and eventually replaced my astra 1.8 with a 1.6 note early last month, after a few weeks debating weather i had done the right thing, i honestly cannot fault the car, it shows that its averaging 48mpg, it cruises along nicely, and having owned many cars in the past, its the best handling car i have driven for ages. living in the north east there are some great driving roads up and around the dales and moors, and i would say that this car is the closest thing to driving my old classic mini (except quieter and much more spacious)

That would help LOL, ours is a 1.4.
