Nissan Qashqai Qashqai 1.5 dCi Tekna 2009

4 star review

High mileage user, fuel consumption very good always on motorway. Normally about 53mpg sometimes 60mpg if I stick to 60mph. I have done 50000 miles in 1.5 years, guess what? The turbo charger has blown! Just a warning to everyone. Also, the car starts to crawl and it covers the road with thick white smoke. Apart from that no other problems.

Nissan Qashqai 1.6 visia 2009

4 star review


I bought a Sept 2009 visia 5 weeks ago. So far quite good although the petrol consumption could be better. Only averaging 35 mpg but thats a lot of in town driving rather than the motorway. I also have gone from an Audi A3 which had far more power and lift. The Visia isn’t the quickest on the motorway but it’s good for around town. The initerior is good quality with the usual electric windows and door mirrors, cd player, mp3 connection, air con etc. So it is good for the basic car. The Audi didn’t have any of that as basic, you had to pay extra. The view from the car is great - extra large door mirrors and a higher driving position makes driving it better, as visibility is better than a standard car. It also is easier for older people and tall people, like myself, to get in and out of. I would definitely buy one again but a bigger engine size and maybe a diesel. I had been looking for a jeep but this is the next best thing, with less costs attached. Overall a very good car, not quite a 5 star but not far off.

Nissan Qashqai N Tec 2009

5 star review

Cannot say enough about Qashqai, totally reliable, comfortable ride, brilliant driving position, well designed and thought out. A definite recommendation. The 1600 petrol version is fine for normal urban driving.

Nissan Qashqai 2009

1 star review

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

5 star review

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

5 star review

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.
