Summary
What does this car say about you?
Cool.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They like it. Funky looking.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Unlikely, plus Qasqhai has faulty shock absorbers design which the company won't admit to (cheaper to replace under warranty). -------------- http://forum.qashqaiclub.co.uk/rear-shock-mountings_topic995_page1&SID=af77adaa6a7eb445cc1fz19c52f7z11e.html -------------- http://forum.qashqaiclub.co.uk/3-month-wait-at-least-for-new-rear-shockers_topic2069&SID=af77adaa6a7eb445cc1fz19c52f7z11e.html
What are you likely to buy next?
Not Nissan.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchise
Did you buy this car new?
Yes
What price did you pay?
£0
When did you buy the car?
September 2008
Did you get a good deal and why?
No. Manager cheated on free boot textile mat.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Reasonably price for its range of facilities.
What was the dealer like?
The customer service is appalling from Glyn Hopkin East London Leytonstone dealership. Delivery date promised in 3 weeks turns to 7 weeks. The car eventually arrived, but was informed they needed 3 additional days to fit 3 parts. I’m sorry, knowing full well it takes them to 8 hours to make a Qashqai from scratch (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=slrvXRLwH04), why does it take the dealer 3 days for 3 optional parts. Maybe they use it for customer test drive. On day of collection, they tried to rush me sign for the car without me checking the Qashqai. The manager conveniently said he “does not recall ” saying giving me a free boot mat as he promised during the order process. To make matter worst, free £15 of fuel was never put in.
