    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 T/A Howards motor Group 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 allow Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd T/A Howards motor Group 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 lender on our panel, which includes lenders of vehicle manufacturers. We have commercial arrangements with lenders and credit brokers which are likely to influence who we introduce you to. We are not an independent financial adviser and don’t give you any advice or recommendations. It is your choice whether you enter into any finance agreement.

    Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked to the franchise offering you the vehicle. They will usually offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions (but we do not guarantee they do). If they are unable to offer finance, we then seek to introduce you to someone else on our panel. We will usually receive a commission for your introduction. This will be either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you choose.

    Lenders of vehicle manufacturers 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. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will tell you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receiving this commission. The exact amount of commission will be confirmed before you sign your finance agreement.

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