At least out of a hibernation of several years, you know that the diesel does not really favor in our cities.

The Japanese will continue nonetheless to offer the other city, the Note, the 1.5 dCi engine known for Renault, Dacia, Nissan and even Mercedes in which he hosts including Class A. Under the hood of the Note, it is available in configuration 90 hp, ample power to propel this small car (1129 kg empty) with ease, what the type of intended course. Mechanics shows soft effect in the city, tonic on the secondary network, and evidence is a very sober (less than 5.5 s current use). Unfortunately, these provisions are being good road marred by a level of accreditation that brings us directly to the 90s This begins to start up with a poor soundproofing at idle which is a ccompanied vibration back into the pedals. The concert castanets continues in the acceleration phases, to calm down at steady speed. Alas, then take over aerodynamic noises in the mirrors zone, which starts to make a lot. Thus rigged, the Note is therefore an excellent advertising … for petrol versions, including the 1.2 DIG-S engine 98 hp. It costs 500 € less equal equipment, provides higher driveability (discretion, liveliness) and showed a moderate appetite. She announced in effect of average consumption 4.3 l (allow at least 1 liter more in real life), and 99 g CO2 / km earned him an exemption from penalties green.

Once dismissed the diesel option, you can focus on the qualities – many – of the Note. Its reduced dimensions ease daily life, while its small turning radius allows it to slip and avoid all the “traps” adorning city driving. Incidentally, honors to the multimedia interface of Nissan Connect system as fast and intuitive. If the passenger is seen served by a realization a little to the economy, with uneven quality materials, it is distinguished by a good overall design. So even large people will feel at ease in the back, with a space for pretty amazing legs. However, if we want to equip the car armrests between the seats, rear privacy glass, the “karakuriboard” (system to compartmentalise the boot), and a sliding rear seat varying the volume Chest 295-411 liters, you either opt for the Family Pack (400 €), or move directly to the high-end finishing Visia. It is simply recalled that the sliding rear seat was provided automatically on the Twingo in 1993.
