Nissan Qashqai (2007 - 2013) 2.0 dCi Acenta 4WD 5d (2007/57) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I have good taste and know a good car when I see one

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Everything - too much to list!

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, without doubt. Quality workmanship and superb 4x4 performance, whilst still feeling like a comfortable family car (and not a tank!)

What are you likely to buy next?

Another Qashqai

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

November 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes - paid nearly £2k less than prices at main dealers at the time and got above book price on my trade in. A real bonus, as incredibly hard to find a manual 4x4 used Qashqai.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Wanted 4x4 vehicle that was still a comfortable family car

What was the dealer like?

Alright - dealt with better and worse in the past.

What's it like to drive?

Very good road handling, plentiful power on demand and superb driving position. Still makes me smile every time I drive it. Also returning 41mpg, which is excellent for a 4x4 in anyone's book.

What's it like to park?

A breeze, especially reverse parking with the sensors.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Had alloy wheels refurbished and rear shock absorbers replaced under goodwill by frachised dealer. Great customer service from Nissan - especially as I didn't buy it from them directly.

What's most practical about your car?

Everything - from the commanding driving position to the reversing parking sensors and the invaluable 4-wheel drive (especially in these winters we are getting now). Has coped with 2 feet of snow without missing a beat!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Power folding wing mirrors and reverse parking sensor.
