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

What does this car say about you?

Sensible

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

Like it, but they do not have to live with the quality, failures and useless dealers in Aberdeen

Would you buy this car again and why?

No. I am a Geordie and bought a car built in Sunderland - should have known!! But seriously the quality is terrible. It is more of a Renault than a Japanese wristwatch.

What are you likely to buy next?

Japanese or German

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£15,000

When did you buy the car?

November 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

Good price for the make, model and spec

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

4wd

What was the dealer like?

Fantastic (Lookers Nissan Altricham) to buy, but Evans Halshaw Nissan in Aberdeen is worse than terrible. DO NOT buy a Nissan if you think you may need to use this garage!! Car has been booked in 5 times for the same faults!!

What's it like to drive?

Rolls a bit around corners, but soaks up bumps and potholes. Reasonable 4x4 for snow, ice and mild offroad shenanigans

What's it like to park?

Easy although rear parking senors always go off when you are a mile away from an object.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Where do I start - car fine quality to sit in and drive but...... In six months failed rear shocks and bushes (Common fault and replaced under warranty) engine malfunction because I wasn't driving it hard enough, and the trim quality is an absolute joke (B-pillar cut at 15k miles with seatbelt action!) not to mention. Only thing worse than the quality is dealing with Evans Halshaw in Aberdeen.. Always fully booked - says something about Nissan quality and reliability.

What's most practical about your car?

Driving position and 4wd
