There's no bigger adventure than having kids
So if you've seen any block of adverts on ITV in the last 3 months you'll have seen the Nissan Note is the only car you'll ever need. Unless you're prone to forgetting the baby.
And so far the jury is out as far as Nissan are concerned.
The Note is manufactured in Sunderland, so if you fancy helping the local UK economy it's a wise choice. Unlike it's sister, the Renault Modus, whose French factory shuts down in August, just in time for the UK plate change.
So what's the verdict on the Note? Well, the jury's out. A couple of question marks remain, and I'm going to offer my services to Nissan to give them advice on how to look at customer progression through their website. It started like this:
I'm looking at Nissan's site at the Note. Under "New Cars" that is. So I click on find my dealer, post code in, whizz-bang-boom and my nearest dealer is displayed. 20 mile round-trip to find out they don't sell cars anymore, just do authorised repairs. WHAT? Back on the site, and sure enough, tiny icons to that effect. So I find my nearest dealer, then look for the tiny icons which state "I sell new cars for customers who look under new cars section for a dealer". The salesman asked how I found him. He was puzzled I found them on Nissan's site, he had a customer that same morning who couldn't. So I'm not the only one with a problem then?
The car seems to fit the bill. The question marks are:
The carseat hasn't got the tick yet - awaiting testing - with a brand new car why haven't Nissan pushed to get it signed off?
To be fair, the salesman did try and find out, but hit a brick wall. All Nissan UK try to do is push the customer down the route of using the "Nissan Approved" seat. Sorry, not an option.
