Nissan Note test drive since 2009 hatchback

To the music of the city

Neo -Eaplery spatial geometry
The success of this car in our market was determined by three factors: branded Nissan reliability, spacious (within the framework of the class, of course) salon and excellent running qualities. His appearance is controversial. Someone likes the avant-garde design and unexpected plastic of the back of the roof, someone considers a machine with lanterns for low-flying aircraft at least strange. Personally, Note is pretty to me. Moreover, Nissan's angular feed hides honestly spacious salon and a large trunk. But it all starts with the doors. We take the comfortable handle, open, slam back. Sound and sensation of an expensive car. Not a couple competitors! The front seats are good for their support and an extensive range of adjustments. You can arrange a landing of any kind from reclining to Minivan-Vertical. The rear seat is flat, but the texture of the upholstery keeps passengers well from movements. As in the case of Peugeot, Nissan outside looks more original than from the inside. Both the eyes and hands rejoice in the three -spoke steering wheel laconic in appearance and pleasant to the touch. The instrument shield and other governing bodies are a traditional Nissan theme gravitating to circles and arcs. There are also completely awkward moments of a kind of not very convenient management of the receiver, weak fixation of the automatic transmission selector in position D and saving on automation of electrical windows for everyone except the driver. Note has a good overview in all directions. External mirrors of the correct size and in the right places.
 
The dynamics of a machine with a 1.6 -liter engine and automatically should be recognized as a subjectively better among competitors in the test. In this case, the noise is limited to the sound of the engine at the top. All kinds of road sounds do not seep inside the cabin. Nissan responds to the turn of the steering wheel with an effortal shift in the nose, while the information content is very good. The rolls are present, but do not go beyond the scope of decency. But slowdown, at least in comparison with competitors, does not look so convincing. And the pedal should be squeezed stronger, and its informativeness is so -so. After five minutes, you can get used to it, but still ...
But the main feature is noto suspension. It seems that there is no such pit that would make Nissan bend and reduce the speed. This quality combined with a large internal volume and unexpectedly solid scurrying doors give a sensation of a larger car. And this is worth a lot as part of our class.
 
Long -looking driver’s workplace in fact turned out to be the most convenient among competitors
