Acenta 1.5dci

Small Family wonder.

A very nice small family car, it goes and handles well (we have 15"alloys), mpg is 57+ and on a long run; over 60mpg, car tax on the 1.5 dci is only £30 a year, the car's roomey, well put together and has so far proved reliable.

I wanted a compact family car and for me the Note beats the Jazz (low tax & better mpg for the dci are just 2 of the deciding factors).

Downer: Do not buy a used one from a main dealer, the salesman I dealt with was arrogant, Incompetent (got more wrong than right & knew nothing about the product he was selling), & only interested in selling extras, the dealership did a gash job on the glasscoating (dried watermarks & blemishes visible found under the coating), my fully prepared car was'nt taxed (ran out 6 weeks previously & yes it was highlighted 3 times), & had it's aerial missing, a complaint to Nissan GB got nowhere, hence why Nissan does'nt score too well on service/customer satisfaction.

Nissan main dealers will push Gap Insurance and Glasscoating, get neither, I was quoted £297 for gap and got it for £66.53 online (from an RAC/Autotrader backed company), glasscoating will cost you £150, if done properly and not gash it might be worth it in the long run, save the money and get a decent polish (super resin polish for example; £11 on ebay).

To sum up: Fantastic car & definetly worth consideration, shocking main dealer.
