Nissan Qashqai (2014 - 2021) 1.2 DiG-T Acenta 5d (2015/15) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Someone who wants a nice family car but doesn't want to pay over the odds for a flashy badge. Not very unique, you see loads on the road now (for a reason).

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

Everybody says they really like the look of the new model. Looks best in black.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, good family car and reasonable price.

What are you likely to buy next?

Something sporty as a 2nd car, possibly a Toyota GT86.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

April 2015

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, received a discount as we were an existing customer.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

We had the previous model and liked that. Good reviews.

What was the dealer like?

Good service, sales advisor kept in regular contact during the order process.

What's it like to drive?

1.2T is very clever engine. Low emissions (cheap tax) and good fuel economy but turbo means it's fast enough for a family car. It does have a narrow power band though so you need to make sure you're in the right gear at the right time. Handling and ride improved over the old model. Doesn't feel like a big car.

What's it like to park?

Fine. Rear visibility when parallel parking is a little limited.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

Plenty of room for the kids and all their gear. Wife likes the high driving position.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Dual storage in boot is clever. Loose items fit nicely in the bottom compartment and push chair/bags fit in the upper.
