Just took home my Blue Note s yesterday. I got this for a work car so I will not have to drive my new Mustang on the crappy streets of Chicago. I learned long ago never to use automotive publications when it comes to reviews of economy cars. My Note handles, rides, and operates very nicely. Mine was made in March of 2014 and I like it a lot more than the Fit I test drove. The larger diameter wheels are a big plus for the battlefields of Chicago. I swore I'd never buy a Mexican built car but I really miss having a small hatchback and there are few choices in America. I'm giving it a shot. Back seat will be removed shortly.

Welcome, and the roads here are most definitely horrible. Specially after this winter.

The worst I'e ever seen. The sad thing is the technology exists to end this problem but it doesn't pay off the right people so we stick to our old inferior ways. When I got our 350Z the first thing I did was replace my 18" stockers with 17" wheels and higher profile tires, this made the car much more pleasant. I'm surprised how well the Note rides, nothing like the reviews said. Thanks for the welcome.
