Nissan gets so much right in launching new cars that it can be excused the occasional swing and a miss. The Murano, the Cube and the car we look at here, the Pixo citycar, all failed to significantly excite the British public. As we've seen with many such models however, what can make an underwhelming new car can often make a good used buy. A lack of market recognition, oversupply of rival models or just buyers relying on outdated perceptions can mean that perfectly good cars can become forgotten about and therefore make excellent used bargains. Does the neglected Pixo fit that bill? Read on to find out.

About the Nissan Pixo

The Nissan Pixo emerges as one of those models that's a better buy used than new. While it's certainly not a great car, the Pixo does have one thing in its favour. In an age when even small cars can feel stodgy and dull, it's a hoot to drive. Buy one, drive it like a holiday rental and rest assured that little will go wrong. There's nothing wrong with that formula.

Representative finance example

If your borrow amount is £7,000 with a deposit of £1,000, a selected term of 48 months, at a representative APR of 17.9% (fixed) and an annual fixed interest rate of 17.9%, you would pay £171.83 per month. Total charge for credit would be £2,247.84 and total amount repayable is £8,247.84.
