Nissan Qashqai+2 (2008 - 2013) 1.6 dCi 360 (Start Stop) 5d (2013/63) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Practical . . . sensible . . . boring . . . (there are so many about).

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

I don't really care what other people think. We bought the car as a practical family vehicle, not to impress people (well you can really impress people with a Nissan unless it's a Skyline).

Would you buy this car again and why?

No, because Nissan don't make the +2 anymore and I don't want to fork out for an XTrail just for the extra seating.

What are you likely to buy next?

Might look at the Mazda CX-5 or a Subaru Forester.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£22,000

When did you buy the car?

January 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

Good lease deal as this was the out-going model.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Good lease deal as this was the out-going model.

What was the dealer like?

Friendly, informative and not too pushy (Bishop's Nissan, Guildford).

What's it like to drive?

The seats aren't very comfortable and the turbo-lag can catch you out. At slow speeds under 1500 RPM the car drives like a slug. MPG is good though.

What's it like to park?

Visibility is only adequate but the 360 cameras really help out.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Electrical glitches: Stop-start system (twice), cruise control, sat-nav, automatic wipers, wiper motor. Plus, the interior trim marks really easily.

What's most practical about your car?

Extra 'occasional' seats at the back.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

360 cameras.
