Nissan Qashqai 2.0 dCi Tekna 2007

5 star review

Ran a Vauxhall Meriva for many years and was very happy with it but fancied a change. The Qashqai seemed just right for me and my expanding family, and the interior space and ample boot room fits all 5 of the Sutton family with room to spare. Ride position is high, suspension very good. Cost price is very reasonable and left me with change from my budget. The engine is punchy, I went for the 2 litre rather than the standard 1.6 as I enjoy having the power to pull away and overtake when necessary. There are almost no negatives, if I had to be picky then I might say that the large pillars make visibility poorer than it could have been but this really is a small quibble. Everything about the Nissan Qashqai is well laid out practical and I would not hesitate in recommending it to family and friends.

5 star review

I fancied a change. I didn’t want a gas-guzzling 4x4 or an ordinary MPV and went looking for something "different". This was when my head was turned by the Qashqai, it is called a compact MPV and looks much better in reality than it does when looking at images online. Fuel economy is good (50+) and the CO2 emissions are only 145g/km which means it is classed as green. It also falls into insurance group 5 - not too expensive to insure. If you are looking for something a little different that gives a great feel of security for your family plus making family outings a pleasure rather than a chore then I highly recommend the Nissan Qashqai.

5 star review

Fantastic, best car I have owned, and that takes a lot for me to say as I am very critical when it comes to cars. I have covered 8,500 miles now. very reliable, economical, comfortable and certainly different from your average ford focus looking cars.

Nissan Qashqai 1.5 DCI 2007

5 star review

I wanted a car to replace my VW diesel Golf, the qashqai 1.5 dci turbo diesel 104 bhp was the car i brought ,excellent fuel economy 55 m.p.g. plenty of power from this small but lusty engine, great for parking with a tremendous lock, it sits nice and high so you get all good round visibility. I just done 30,000 miles in this car and I can’t fault it

Nissan Qashqai 1.6 Acenta 2008

5 star review

I wanted a car to replace my Primera. At first I dismissed the Qashqai and looked at Toyota, Ford and even BMW. However, one test drive and I was hooked. It’s so well finished, extremely comfortable, superior equipment levels, a great drive and economical. The versatility of the split seats and rear luggage space make it a proper load carrier too. The elevated driving position is great in traffic. Overall - an excellent car.

Nissan Qashqai 1.6 Visia 2007

5 star review

I am very pleased with my 1.6 Visia, it provides me with a comfortable ride due mainly to a good driving position. The cruise control and reversing sensores further enhance the quality feel and the reliabilty has so far not been called into question. Good inside space and the certainly feels safe on both A-roads and motorways. An excellent product from Nissan, well done to them.

5 star review

This is the ideal choice for a family 4x4. The new car price is within the reach of most and the reliabilty is exemplary. This is a comfortable ride with a great feeling of safety and solidity. Spacious, reliable and good value for money.

Nissan Qashqai 1.6 Visia 2007

5 star review

What a car, bought this to placate my wife, who wanted something big enough for all the family, but small enough for her to handle and also not get too beat up about the green issues. Since buying this car, I have commandered for myself, as it is a complete joy to drive, has quite an angular look to it and is a bargain to boot. Highly recommend.

5 star review

The Nissan Qashqai has the feel of a premium 4x4 without the price tag or the hate, no one will believe that this car cost less than £25,000 or that it does 50mpg! Try it!!
