The NISSAN NOTE (2006-09) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.5 DCI 86 ACENTA R is a practical small family hatchback, offering a taller, roomier feel than many city cars without the bulk of an SUV.

The 1.5 dCi diesel version is aimed at drivers wanting economical everyday motoring, and suits commuters, small families and first-time buyers who value a useful five-door layout. Acenta specification adds comfort-focused equipment, while the Note’s upright shape helps make getting in, loading shopping and accommodating passengers easier than in many similarly sized rivals.
