    Your readers might like to know the following: I bought a NOTE SV a month ago and with c. 1300 miles on it so far, four pump to pump fill ups netted 40.9; 40.1; 40.3; and 39.5 mpg. Odometer has been checked correct. Load was usually two passengers, and in last (39.5 mpg) instance included luggage, and mostly 65mph turnpike driving with the A/C on. Generally, all driving included a variety of roads: secondary roads between small towns and some shopping stop and go in small cities, plus about a half of the total on turnpike. Number of steep and long hills included. Very mixed in other words. I found these results rather extraordinary! CVT is smooth, and car is noticeably quiet from road and wind noise. Wheels were 15" alloy with the Bridgestone Ecopia 422 tires @ psi 33. Some moderate jolting on rough roads, but overall ride is nice. Seats are not "soft and mushy" (as described by some) but adequately firm (I am 175 lbs). .
    Wife and I both like this car, and from the above comments, reader can perhaps see why.

    Alex, first off, kudos for reviews that are actually useful to someone who is actually looking to buy the car. You give all the pertinent info like the acceleration times etc. so we get an idea of where it stands.
    You show the important features we need to make an informative decision. I'm a car nut myself, so appreciate nuances and major features about cars in general. Your reviews make the selection process that much easier.
    I just bought a 2015 Note SV in November and have just a tick over 5,000 miles on it. I've owned and driven a number of cars, and while not as plush or gadget ridden as some of them, I absolutely love the Note. There's something refreshingly honest about it.
    It also has some cool features.I love how the needles on the gauges swing up when you start it up, and the 'three blink' lane change feature usually found on European cars.
    My only really big complaint is a few times it felt like it 'bogged down' as though the parking brake applied itself when I hit the resume button on the speed control after slowing down.
    It hadn't of course, and once I 'goosed' the throttle it was fine. It was almost like the CVT got stuck in some weird mode.
    I hear/read a fair amount of complaints about the hard plastics. Folks, you have to remember this is isn't a luxo box. If you don't like the hard plastics, then don't touch them. There is a decent look to them, and my only complaint are the lower inside rear door panels tend to scratch fairly easily, something to consider of you have kids or animals using the back area a lot.
    The acceleration and CVT feel are exactly as you describe them, and the progressive power steering is just that. There is a noticeable change in feel from lower sppeds to higher speeds.
    While no track day special, the Note handles more than competently, both in 'normal' driving, and in emergency stuations such as would occur when avoiding a sudden hazard.
    I hadn't realized about the disappearing lumbar support, but even with the seat in the highst position, I find it very comfortable.
    The seat and driving position work well for me, and truthfully, never really notice the advantage of a telescoping steering wheel, so that aspect doesn't bother me.
    My average highy/city combined mpg is around 34-36, total city is around 31-32, and on the open road, as high as 43. I'm longing to take a really long non stop long highway trip, as I'm sure the 45mpg barrier will be broken.
    I find love the proportions, it's easy to park, feels right at home on the highway as it does on the side roads, and is entertaining enough on the twisties. Living in New England, it did great in the snow for the most part, but will say is crashes a bit on our famous pothole and frost heave ridden roads.
    I think you are right Alex, the unadorned SV is the best value, but wouldn't mind having either the 360 view, or rear view camera but unfortunately, those are not stand alone options.
    I appreciate the time and effort you put into your reviews, and am looking forward to reading about other cars as well. Thanks for a job well done.

It is just what I was looking for in a daily driver, particularly since it looks like we're going to see fuel prices soar in the next 4 years. My weekend car is a c5 Corvette. A friend of mine is beginning to suspect that I have a split personality! :-)

    A fine review, Alex. You probably appreciate a little feedback so, just to tell you that your review (plus the earlier NOTE review) was most helpful in making a decision to purchase one of these vehicles (the SV trim level). We rented an S Plus trim (the only trim available) for a week prior to purchase of the SV, so had a pretty good idea although quite frankly, the S Plus trim was so lacking in amenities (manual windows, no seat height adjustment etc.) that it was a bit of a put off. Anyway, we like the SV very much. As to the CVT's alleged negatives garnered from other reviews (e.g. noisy, and so forth) I agree with you and find this NOT to be the case. For example, we went up a number of very steep hills (we live in the Adirondack Park in New York State) with no problems, revs only up to 3,000 (very occasionally 3500) rpms. and no problems whatsoever. We (wife and self) are admittedly conservative drivers, but we love the CVT and wouldn't go back to an auto trans. And, over the years, we have had wide experience from rentals and ownership of primarily small cars both manual and auto trans. Not yet verified at the pump yet, but the mileage seems like it will be excellent (the dashboard computer readout for mpg is 43.5 mpg after 250 miles but I suspect that this is overly optimistic (as it was on the S Plus rental car.) Am guessing it will come out to about 38, maybe 39. Anyway, keep up the good reviews and thank you for setting us straight about this car--it's pretty neat.

    Wish he would have talked about the transmission override button and how it affects driving in town. I had a 2010 Versa Hatchback with a 4 speed automatic. The overdrive off button caused the transmission to top out in 3rd gear, which kept revs up and made the car much more lively when driving below 40 MPH. I wonder what it feels like with the CVT.

  • @arentol7
    @arentol7 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Driving an SV on a 3 mile section of flat road (along my daily commute, separate test on separate days for each speed) I measured 52mpg at 57mph, 46mpg at 60, 40mpg at 65, and 36mpg at 70.
    I have a 48 mile commute of which 45 miles is highway. By driving ~58mph on the highway for my commute I am able to maintain a 44.5mpg average for all my driving, including weekday errands and weekend driving that are mostly city miles. I bought this care specifically for my new long commute and I couldn't be happier with with the car price to MPG ratio.
    I am 6'2 with a size 13 shoe and I have absolutely no problems with the foot well. I tried to find a way to have a problem and the only way I could make it happen was to put my entire foot flat on the pedal. If you drive like a normal person you will be fine even if you are a very big guy, this is helped immensely by the ridiculous amount of space available to the driver.

I cannot see myself buying a different compact hatch because of the "magic seat" as well as the superior total cargo area. Even with the attractive 200hp fiesta, I would still rather have a fit and do some aftermarket tuning to it. Again because of the versatility of the Fit. Thanks for the great reviews!

    Well, I took a test drive of both the Nissan Versa Note and the Honda Fit today. While the Fit was marginally nicer in looks, the Versa Note was more comfortable to drive. I also thought the Versa Note was less noisy. As far as versatility and standard features go, the Fit definitely trounced the Versa Note.
    Interior Comfort is a BIG deal for me as I plan to spend a lot of time in the car. So, I am now hesitant about the Fit. I am 5'11"; I don't know how people 6' and taller claim to be VERY comfortable in the Fit.

  • @frankevich
    @frankevich 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Addendum to my comments below. First tankful (pump to pump) mileage check on our new NOTE SV after 300 miles was 40.9 mpg. --better than expected. This was I believe a pretty fair test in that there was a good mix of highway, secondary roads, small towns, and some serious hills included. Readers might be interested in this information. Keep up the good reviews.

  • @1guyin10

    As you approach the $20,000 mark there are a lot better options than the Note. Any number of compacts can be had for that price and you will even see promotions on some midsize cars near that mark. The mid and lower trim levels of the Note, however, offer good value and utility for the price. It is not a bad option to playing used car roulette.

      I have a 2014 Note with the manual transmission and frankly it sucks. 1st and 2nd gear are way too short. It's hard to take off without overreving and when going real slow in 1st or even 2nd the car has a tendency to be jumpy. In other words it does not go very smoothly. Also, I find it has a very harsh ride. We also have a 2013 Honda Fit and it is head and shoulders better than the Note.

      And maybe the Sedan too. I wonder if there's enough time in the world to do these extensive reviews on the "core" vehicle, plus shorty reviews on its siblings etc. (with a link back to the original comprehensive review? I suspect not, but I do think it was very kind of Alex to do an expanded review on the Note, based on "meh" reviews from other reviewers. Without this in depth review, I wouldn't be looking any further than the Honda Fit. The funny thing is, I have now come to like the looks of the Sedan better, but worry it won't handle as well as the Note, or be as quiet ....

    US News and World Report rank the Versa #15 in subcompacts. I am unable to figure this. I rent subcompacts fairly frequently and always request the Versa--interior comfort--seats are very nice for the class--intuitive interior--quite nice on the Hwy at 70-90 mph. initial pep when passing before the engine flattens out. I thought the reviewer most nailed this car although I am guessing that the Versas will require gentle handling. If u r rough on a car, I'd avoid. My 2017 Versa Sedan cost $12,000--which is the #1 feature of this car--if u're on a tight budget and still want a decent new car this fits very well.

    The versa keeps its value your not going to lose very much after 3 years of ownership. looks great for a city car easy to park low fuel cost . would rather get a 3 year old focus with a manual . The focus takes a big drop in resale so a used one will be a better buy. If you can get the versa for 9k new as they say hey it dont get better than that.

      The Sentra has more footwell room and it has a slightly bigger back seat. The Sentra actually has the largest back seat of any non-SUV Nissan or Infiniti product sold in America so it's longer back there (not but wider) than the Altima or Maxima.

    Excellent review as always Alex and I like that you went back and did an updated review based on more exposure to the car.
    I know you talk about models that are new that could shake up a particular vehicle segment, with that in mind what do you think of the new Honda Fit that is due to go on sale very soon? To my eyes it appears to be the new leader given what it will be offering and given the main selling point for the Versa (besides price) being it's cargo and passenger versatility I think it makes for a weaker case for the Versa Note now. What do you think?

    • @AAutoBuyersGuide

      Alex on Autos Hey Alex, so I went to look at a 2015 Versa Note. They have made some interesting tweaks that might merit a review of the 2015. So they changed the gauge cluster (looks classier to my eyes) and they also better integrated the AC unit with the stereo unit. In the 2014 they looked like separate binnacles (which gave the interior a cheap feeling) but they made them more appear as one unit now and added some glossy piano black veneer trim around the AC and Nissan head unit (or NAV if equipped). I think it looks better than the 2014s radio and AC unit console area. Oh and unless my ears mistake me it sounds like the speakers in the 2015 have noticeably more bass punch in them than the 2014s did. The NAV unit also have apps support, you know, for all those important Facebook updates?!? :D Looks like there may be a 2015 Versa in my future. Hard to beat the price and the interior plastics have a nice graining to them and really are not as bad as people make them out to be. ;-)

    I'm surprised you hardly mentioned anything about the features of the Honda Fit (or the overall car itself) in comparison to the Note. In fact, when I first saw the Note, it was obvious where Nissan got its design cues and it looks so much better because of it. I own a Honda Fit Sport which I enjoy a lot and it's a great driver's car with features that make it a one-of-a-kind entry in its class but it's nice to see Nissan do something better than the car it replaces.

    • @AAutoBuyersGuide
      @AAutoBuyersGuide  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      According to both Honda and Nissan the Fit is in kind of a different niche. I have to agree since the Fit is more of a driver's car as you said but also because the Fit's average transaction price is much higher than the Versa so it seems to attract a different sort of customer. Lastly and maybe more importantly, the new Fit is being launched in about a month (I'll be seeing it in March) so it didn't seem fair to compare the old fit right away. Expect a video on that around the first week of April.

      I never really know why CR rates some things below average. The Versa for instance is rated below average for plastics quality but it's very inexpensive so I don't understand their complaint. The Optima Turbo is a well rounded car and the long warranty is certainly an attractive point. I like the way turbo cars drive, but it is possible that the folks at CR weren't happy with the inherent turbo lag.

    2) At the bottom right of the rear I see the little blue logo they use to indicate hybrid cars in Nissan (if I'm not wrong and I'm not confusing that logo :p). But from the review, it didn't seem you mentioned an hybrid train for this car. So... am I wrong about the logo? XD
    3) Where did you drive this time? ;)

      1. It is basically the same car. There are a few changes for the US driven by crash standards and a few driven by the market. In the EU there are more options available for instance.
      2. The little logo is PureDrive which is Nissan speak for an efficient car. I'm not sure why blue=green car. Go figure.
      3. This time the drive route was through Millbrae, Burlingame and Hillsborough California and by Crystal Springs Lake. I wasn't that thrilled with the venue but I was nearby and it was the only decent filming say that week.
      Thanks!

    The front seats suck. Back seats are great.

    FYI: "Tonneau" (as in "tonneau cover") is pronounced "tuh-noh", not "taw-nooh".

    Please do not buy a Nissan note I bought one a night about a 2020 Nissan note have had nothing but problems with the transmission Nissan will not repair it I have a bumper to bumper warranty the only time they're going to repair it is when it stops moving or the engine light comes on they say never mind the car printer gets me killed going to an intersection or version under the 401 but that's okay wait until the thing stops and gets me killed then we'll talk about maybe changing the transmission right Mr Nissan make millions and millions of dollars a year and you can't change one transmission you wait until your lawsuit comes to you

    "Robotized manual"? Better grammar would be "robotic" manual or "automated" manual.

      For some reason the technical term is "robotized" manual, go figure.

      When Nee-San starts calling themselves Nis-San in their N. American TV commercials I too will alter my pronunciation ;-) Until then, Nee-San it is...
