06. Nissan

The new 2013 Nissan Qashqai  looks old before you even get in it. Nothing special at all, looks like it was made in 2001. Handles slow, drives slow, rubbish options, not comfortable, its a Nissan, try telling your friends in the pub you drive a Nissan. Most of the other cars in their range are also damn ugly. Not really much choice on options. But the parking camera is cool as it shows more than the average parking sensor camera does, but only if you pay for the additional option and they really screw you for this, it is not cheap. You can chose 17 or 18 inch rims which is nice, The shape though is really not nice. The drive feels weird as you dont really stand out as driving a new car. The customer service is rubbish, but we only visited a few, but generally we found all the showrooms where run down and as outdated as their cars. If you just retired this is not a bad option for you. You might even appreciate the 1990 styling as it brings back old memories.
