Are there any comparable alternatives to the Nissan Note Acenta?
I have recently had a test drive in a Nissan Note Acenta and was quite impressed. Are there any comparable cars of a different make that I should consider? Or should I go for the Note N-tec or Tekna? Are there any known recurring issues with the Note?

The competitors are the KIA Venga, the Hyundai ix20 and the Toyota Verso S (arriving soon, testing in February). For pix and demos, see video of the Paris motor show at: www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/motorshows/paris-motor-s...0
