Thanks, Dan, for the welcome.
Bought Note (petrol 56 reg) as wife's car to replace our very aged Favorit. (It's the newest car I've bought). She can't drive, so I'm her chauffeur (and gofer) and she chose it.She likes the feeling of space, the seat heightand the rear wheel arches don't intrude into the seat, so access is easy - and there's a large shelf for her to put her handbag while she gets into the front passenger seat, settles herself, adjusts her skirt, does her hair, finishes her make-up ..... and finally fastens her seat-belt.
There's not much I like about it, but I'm getting used to it. Its final drive ratio would better suit a van/pickup so, although fuel consumption is good (43 av.; 50 on long trips) it could be even better. Revs are 15% higher than the Favorit's.
