Nissan Qashqai

I have just got a 09 plate Nissan Qashqai Visia 1.6 petrol engine. I thought about purchasing but decided to lease instead - opting for a 3 year lease deal which also includes the annual car tax for the duration of the lease. There is no balloon payment at the end and I simply hand the car back to the lease company. I have always driven small cars (Clio, Fiesta, C3 etc) but wanted a bigger family car.

My husband and I are currently deciding which car to buy to replace his beloved Mini Cooper as we are planning to start a family soon and need a car which is better suited to a family's needs. We have test-driven numerous cars and I have a lot to say about all of them. I will be focussing mainly on telling you about the features and specifications that I am looking for in a family car i.e. space, comfort and the little added luxuries which make life a bit easier. This review is about the attractive Nissan Qashqai. Both my husband and I found this small SUV to be very comfortable to drive, and an added bonus is that you have the option of buying a 2WD ...  Read the complete review
