Nissan Qashqai (2007 - 2013) 1.6 (117bhp) 360 5d CVT Auto Owner Review

Before we bought it we hired one for a few days and were very impressed with the hire car. It was automatic but had good acceleration both on the flat and up hills. Our second hand one however although ok didnt have the same spec and the acceleration was slugish and not a patch on the newer one. The latest models are a lot better in terms of better appearance, and upgraded trim and dash. the reversing camera in my current model is in black and white and not brilliantly clear. I have used several other vehicles with a bigger colour screen and the clarity and field of vision is excellent so Nissan need to up their spec on that issue. The front to back sun roof on all the models is fantastic as is the all round visibility over and above a lot of other cars. The roof window can easily be covered at the press of a swith and even then the windows are larger than average and airey. I dislike cars with small windows so this car is deffinately top of the list for visibility and light. Getting in and out is great too I have a couple of mobility issues and one of the easiest to get in and out of. Good sized boot and seats at rear go down to get those big items in.I would deffinately consider a new or newer model if the price was right. Overall the pros deffinately outweigh the cons with the Qasquai. Give one a try and see for yourself.
