Is Nissan Note E-Power worth a shift for a first time Hybrid buyer?

[mamoonk88]

Hi Everyone,

I have a corolla Gli 1.6 Auto (2013) which I have been using for the past 2-years. as the prices of fuel have hicked exponentially I am keen on shifting to a hybrid. I want to know if someone has been using the Nissan Note E-power as that is considered to be the most fuel-efficient amongst its competitors (Fit & Aqua).

I would require an honest suggestion on the car. its pros and cons and has anyone had any major known faults with the car like the clutch problem with Fit and brakes issue with Aqua/Prius. also how the market is nowadays of the car and resale.

looking for helpful suggestions.

Regards,

Mamoon

The amount u will save on fuel will be lesser than u spend on maintenance:) parts are always kabli and hell costly. Toyota ki hybrid only in Pakistan

I saw a Nissan Note E-Power at a bargain, sat inside and surprisingly had more space at the back than Aqua and was longer as well. It's 1200cc Electric as engine is only used as a generator to charge the batteries so it only runs on batteries making it a full-time Electric car. And it's pick is just insane....Even more than 1.8 Civic X and Grande. Market price nowadays is around 27-32 Lac with Nismo edition being the most expensive.
Parts prices and maintenance will be expensive according to me as there are not much Note's on the road so Kabli parts are the only way out if something goes wrong God forbid. And please do not fall for auction sheets and low mileage 10-30k km driven examples as almost 80% cars imported by these dealers are accidented and repaired afterwards with airbags removed and meters reversed. Some are even flooded and then cleaned here to sell them as 4 Grade cars.

A relative bought an Aqua Urban 2016 25k driven, although it was his mistake that he did not check the condition of the car prior to buying but later he found out that the car didn't had airbags and it was accidented as he found some website and searched his chassis only to find his car's pictures at the Japan port before being brought here. I'm attaching the pictures below.

Just making people here aware of the situation with these do number dealers so that no-one falls into their trap.

Wow. So is there any way to verify the car...I thought auction sheets could not be faked as they can be verified online.

[omaruser156370259465]

I guess one should take some next level trust worthy genius mechanic and electrician along to check the car and verify it from various Japanese auction house websites to see the condition of the car at the time of import.

Thank You fastian, after a days search I have come to the same conclusion.

[mamoonk88]

O God, Thank you for sharing. I might reconsider my decision of going for an imported car and may go towards a local manufacturer.

@omaruser156370259465 Can you ask your relative about the website where he found these images based on the chasis. Would be really helpful. Thanks
