Nissan Note test drive since 2009 hatchback

It doesn't seem a little

Please put it in class
The market reacts immediately to the additions in the family of babies. V-class cars are simply obliged to have a catchy appearance, and any newly-made competitor is just asking for a comparative test with models that have already gained numbers. The PEUGEOT 207 and FIAT GRANDE PUNTO who appeared in Russia rolled with Opel Corsa and Renault Clio, at the same time adding to them the popularity of Nissan Note.

OUTSIDE
U, you are small, Musi-Pushi ... You don’t need it with these, although they are small, but take a look at how it practices the theme of an adult branded design of Opel Miniature Corsa. I am only sorry that the test is not presented with a three -door that looks even more breathtaking. In general, there is plenty of enthusiasm in this test. Here Fiat at the move, and at a decent speed, it simply affects the whirlwind of Italian temperament. Moreover, the composition of the face is pretty and, indeed, childishly mimits the maserati stereotype ...
 
The top of the threshold of the baby Peugeot, who had already managed to become familiar with the family of the middle brother of the model 407, looks here in the first class. The Renault system closes, which is good, but just less emotional. Nissan holds from the company of perky babies aside. Minivan still! But recognition is brilliant, because there are associations with both Micra and with other models of the concern larger. On the side, everything could look more sharp, these hatchbacks about three doors. But practicality takes its own, especially since the five doors do not particularly interfere with Corsa and, oddly enough Note, which convincingly connects both practicality and dynamics in its silhouette. The Japanese minivan is more convincing the point over the I over the I over the I, thanks to the pair of the rear lamps of ruby \u200b\u200bfins, which even decorate the roof, will be remembered and will probably like those who still treated minivan as a distorted van.
INSIDE
Of course, a small car should be comfortable. And also honest and not feed the optical illusions of the buyer, who expects a certain capacity from him (both luggles and family members). The best with honesty is the Japanese little car here is everything clearly and there are even tables for the rear sedaks. The rest flirting mainly with a front passenger. For example, Corsa boasts an enchanting of night backlighting the central console, Peugeot with silver frames of the central console and ... flavor. Clio style surveillance is entirely devoted to the driver’s place, plastic and shape of the button. Not bad, but too intrusive, plastic, and from this the design can quickly get bored. Fiat style is slightly diversified by small windows behind the front racks ... That's all. Except that the plastic overlay on the floor tunnel can remind the distant 80s, when the same Jujaro created the utilitarian UNO.
SUMMARY
There is an unprecedented variety. The test presents the color of world compact manufacturers who historically set fashion and style. But the European tradition is increasingly difficult to resist the unpredictability of the East. This is especially obvious with this comparison.
The totality of qualities such as a suspension, which without a trace swallow the majority of irregularities, a spacious interior, good dynamics with controllability, an adequate price and a sensation of a more expensive car brought Nissan Note to the first place in the test. This is a practical and comfortable machine that immediately becomes its own.
In second place is Opel Corsa. This incendiary shell, despite its modest declared characteristics, will undoubtedly find its buyer. The baby from Opel is more than worthy of praise, but in the choice between comfort and good controllability, his scales bowed in favor of the second.
 
The third place is given by Peugeot 207. Largely for the brightest design that collects a string of views at any time of the day. The advantages of the pepper include a perfectly configured suspension and good sound insulation. To his appearance and the equally expressive salon, unequivocally goodbye competitors.
 
The fourth place is Renault Clio. This is the most neutral car. It is quite practical, safe and convenient. It cannot boast of a bright appearance, but it is impossible to confuse with others. In addition, any acute cunning forms become obsolete faster, leaving behind on the stage what we call classics.
In the last place Fiat Grande Punto. In many ways, due to the overstated price and inconsistency of the beautiful appearance of the rest of the filling. Fiat is undoubtedly worthy of attention, and its audience could expand significantly, requests for sellers for a serial analogue at least a slightly lower price.
