    British-built Nissans Scoops Awards Double

    Nissan has recently added 2 more impressive awards to their list of achievements, thanks to the Qashqai who won the ‘Best SUV and 4x4’ and the note that picked up the award for ‘Best car for under £150 a month’ at 2015 Carbuyer awards.

 

Nissan is notorious for designing and creating award winning cars, and at the recent 2015 Carbuyer Awards they added two more impressive titles to their list of achievements. The honour went to the multi-award winning Qashqai which was named ‘Best SUV and 4x4’, and the Note which took home the award in the ‘Best car for under £150 a month’ category.

All models were selected by the panel of motoring experts at Carbuyer, who assessed various aspects of what each model has to offer before determining the winners. The areas judged included running costs, reliability, practicality and how appealing the car is to new car buyers.

Stuart Milne, Editor of Carbuyer said, "The Nissan Qashqai is a comfortable SUV but it's no more expensive to run or harder to drive than a hatchback. It's no surprise that the Qashqai is one of Britain's most popular cars."

Both the Qashqai’s reviews and sales figures reflect its popularity, with sales reaching a record breaking two million last year. The record number was achieved in just eight years, beating other popular models such as the Ford Fiesta and the BMW Mini. The model has won a number of other prestigious awards, including the NCAP’s Safest Small Family Car of 2014 and Best Crossover awarded by Auto Express. The model has also been named as What Car’s Best Small SUV for two years running.

The Note offers practicality, excellent value for money and is an economically friendly car. The model provides a copious amount of space and in car features for its price range, which is a lot more then what other cars have to offer in the competitive compact car market.

Carbuyer Stuart Milne commented on the Note saying, "There are cheaper cars out there but none offers as much space, comfort and equipment as the Nissan Note. And all for less than £150 a month."

  • Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

    We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

    Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

    Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

    All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
