Nissan Qashqai 2009

Question. How small are your testers? Two minutes in the front and rear of a Quashqai revealed that it’s too small for a normal six-footer. In the driver’s seat my head hit the top of the windscreen and even with seat fully lowered I still had to move it back, severly reducing rear leg room. It’s certainly no replacement for the Tino which was, indeed, man-size. No sale there then. I’ll stick with my C-Max which has generous head- and leg- room (and full-depth rear side windows).

Nissan Qashqai 1.6 Petrol Tekna 2009

This is my second Qashqai Tekna. I bought my first on May 2007 and was delighted with the car for the time I drove it. I just had to upgrade to the 2009 model. The improvements I have noticed over the 2007 model lie in the 18" wheels the Tekna now has. In the few days I have had it 3 passengers have commented on the superior ride. Not that the other car was bad mind! The Connect system appears to be very functional incorporating Sat Nav, bluetooth connectivity, radio,CD and MP3. The colour reversing camera is a good upgrade over the 2007 model too. Rear privacy glass, a new silver grill and 10 spoke alloy wheels only enhance what to me is a very nice car. As for reliability both cars start first time every time and although the 2007 model had a problem with a whine from the fan belt in wet weather it was cured by a trip to the dealers. Hopefully the 2009 model with not suffer with the same affliction. I did mainly urban driving in the 2007 and managed about 35 Miles per Gallon. On longer trips the MPG rose up to 42 when using the cruise control. One happy Nissan QQ owner.

Nissan Qashqai 1.6 Acenta 2009

Great car when compared with the Astra, Focus and Golf. Each of these competitors have their merits, Focus great to drive the Golf being classy etc, but the Qashqai combines the needs of everyday life brilliantly. The 1.6 engine has enough power for both town & motorway driving, it’s no boy racer but keeps up with faster traffic easily. Having the high seating also makes pulling out from junctions a lot easier, and adds to a feeling of being secure, helped in part by the cock-pit like feel of the interior. To date I’ve not had any issues with my QQ, the fuel economy is around 30 in town, which is not too bad ( considering its size ) and should improve once loosened up a bit. Also group 5 insurance is what you would expect for a super-mini not a car in this class, which means that my ownership costs should be competitive. Finally the quality of the fit and finish is top drawer, but the quality of the materials used are not quite in the Golfs league but easily better than a Ford Focus.
