Summary
What does this car say about you?
Safe and sensible.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
There's another Qashqai up the road.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No. High level SatNav no longer available (the current Connet system appears not to be liked - see Owners' Club site!). Biggest DISAPPOINTMENT is NO separate/dedicated floor heating nor high level fresh air vents for REAR PASSENGERS. Al;o, getting into the back is VERY awkward - high sill, restricted footwell width and huge speaker housing on rear doors.
What are you likely to buy next?
Hybrid, maybe.

Franchised

£18,250
When did you buy the car?
January 2009
Did you get a good deal and why?
I'd say it was 'reasonable' but not generous.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
After taking me 12 months to research prior to handing back my company car upon retirement, it was the only car to 'tick all my boxes'.
What was the dealer like?
Overall -very good. Car not available when I specified (and they accepted my date) so they lent me one until it arrived.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Pleasantly surprised with 1.6 petrol engine - especially after powerful Skoda diesel company cars (3). Overall driving experience is good.
What's it like to park?
Reverse camera very reassuring (we added sound sensors as well as we're used to these on wife's car and indeed they proved invaluable!
