For The Nissan Note 1.4 Acenta provides the best balance of performance, equipment and value, and is our choice of the Note range. With standard alloy wheels, it looks smart, too.

Against Good though the petrol engine is, it lacks the mid-range punch and the excellent fuel economy of the two diesel units. Neither traction control nor a CD multichanger are available.
