We didn't buy an Insight but we bought a Note instead

I like the Note. Aside from nearly severing half my hand, it was big enough for 2 hulking great 18+ stone 6+ footers in the front, it drove tidily, was well equipped, and had a modicum of style without any attempt at being pretentious. I'd be quite happy to have one on my driveway.

"Modicum of style"? Like a Suzuki Celerio or a Citroen Berlingo perhaps?

Really like the car
it's not said no to anything that's been asked of it
Easily returns 46+ mpg on a run and in good comfort
We now of at least 2 others that also own Notes of similar ages and all say the same

Quick update
I have been aware of various re calls on the Note's for quite a while now and a couple of weeks ago we had a letter in post saying ours had an outstanding recall on the passenger side air bag and could we arrange it , so duly arranged to be done on the drive at home by RAC / Halfords yesterday .

All done as required and bag replaced , just got to wait for coded key to work on drivers side of the car now ^_^
