The Note has a spacious and thoughtfully designed interior, and it's well built. The steering is sharp and the suspension strikes a fine balance between ride comfort and body control.

The Note feels like a much bigger car on the inside thanks to its lofty roofline and clever packaging. The rear bench slides on runners, allowing you to choose the balance between rear legroom and luggage capacity, and with it pushed back there's plenty of room for four in the cabin. You also get a vast array of cubby holes for everyday clutter.
