Summary
What does this car say about you?
Practical . . . sensible . . . boring . . . (there are so many about).
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
I don't really care what other people think. We bought the car as a practical family vehicle, not to impress people (well you can really impress people with a Nissan unless it's a Skyline).
Would you buy this car again and why?
No, because Nissan don't make the +2 anymore and I don't want to fork out for an XTrail just for the extra seating.
What are you likely to buy next?
Might look at the Mazda CX-5 or a Subaru Forester.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The seats aren't very comfortable and the turbo-lag can catch you out. At slow speeds under 1500 RPM the car drives like a slug. MPG is good though.
What's it like to park?
Visibility is only adequate but the 360 cameras really help out.

What's most practical about your car?
Extra 'occasional' seats at the back.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
360 cameras.
