THE Note didn’t rank in our Driver Power 2018 survey, but it finished 66th in last year’s poll. That’s a disappointing result, although it isn’t surprising going by some of the owner reviews on the Carbuyer website. Low running costs are the key attractions, with ride and handling plus the engine and gearbox being criticised.

HELEN Judd from Hull owns a 1.2-litre Note. She told us: “It’s easy to drive and nippy enough around town, but on the open road it could do with more power. While some of the cabin materials look and feel cheap, the Note has been reliable. It’s very cheap to run and it’s surprisingly practical for such a small car.”
