• Summary

    3 out of 5 3.0

    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

    2 out of 5 2.0

    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.
