Nissan Qashqai (2007 - 2013) 2.0 Tekna 5d CVT (2008/08) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I don't care what other people think of my choice of vehicle

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Family like it apart from the annoying rattles

Would you buy this car again and why?

I would never get another one due to the common faults (rear hatch rattles and rear shock absorbers) which are unforgiveable on a modern car.

What are you likely to buy next?

Anything but a Nissan

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£17,500

When did you buy the car?

June 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

Good internet deal from Franchised Dealer

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Good deal

What was the dealer like?

The dealer I bought it from was good. The dealer I use for maintenance has not been able to resolve the problems.

What's it like to drive?

Easy and comfortable

What's it like to park?

Easy

Have you had any problems with the car?

The rear shock absorbers have been replaced twice in 18,000 miles. The rear hatchback clonks and rattles. The hatchback striker plate has no adjustment. It is going back to the dealer for the 5th time next weekend to try, yet again, to resolve the problem. The rear seats rattle against their mountings. The windscreen cracked overnight, it was a calm night, not cold and it wasn't vandalism. Replaced under insurance as the dealer didn't want to know. Service costs are high.

What's most practical about your car?

Well equipped and the controls are nicely laid out. Driver's seat should have hight adjustment. I have to duck when looking around a corner as the rearview mirror is in the way. I'm 6' tall, not a giant!
