Summary
What does this car say about you?
Practical, stylish, modern.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They love it. Nobody gets in for the first time and fails to remark how nice they are inside and how much luxury kit there is. They are without fail impressed by what they thought was a modest car.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, this is my third. They are excellent value for money and reliable in the extreme. They have so many features as standard that their competitors charge for as to make them incomparable. The best in class by a mile.
What are you likely to buy next?
The latest model qashqai.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Smooth as silk. 6 speed gearbox, more driver aids than anyone could want and the ability to turn them off if desired. A superb place to be. It's not a speed machine but it's not a sports car. It has plenty of power when asked for acceleration and it goes exactly where you point it.
What's it like to park?
There are so many sensors and cameras to aid parking that the only suggestion I would make is to lose the beeps as you have a different beep depending on which of the six zones you happen to be close to an obstruction with. In a very tight space, two sets of very frequent beeps (front and back) can be a bit distracting. It's so easy to park, the beeps seem a bit too much for me.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No
What's most practical about your car?
It is easy to get into and out of due to the height of the vehicle and design of the doors and seating.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Excellent satnav and audio system in Nissan Connect.
