Nissan Qashqai+2 (2008 - 2014)
1.6 dCi n-tec+ 5dr 4 X 4
Roomy and stylish SUV with good power and very low running costs
Regardless of the fact that this car has seven seats, if only five seats are used it serves as a very roomy and comfortable car with a nice high view from the cockpit and a feeling of quality about the fittings and mechanics. The N-Tec plus version comes with a host of goodies, not least of which are the 4 cameras positioned around the car to provide forward, rearward and overhead views. The Panoramic sunroof is huge and makes the interior appear like traveling in a convertible.
Best of all, this 1.6 litre diesel engine has very low emissions, excellent power for its size (128 BHP) and good economy (I achieve around 48 mpg - mixed driving and after only 9500 miles on the clock). Insurance is cheap against its competitors and Nissan's 3 year servicing package completes the case for low cost motoring. It also features satnav, climate control, cruise control, a decent radio/CD with MP3 ability and a proper spare wheel, albeit a space-saver.
On the downside, for people over 6 feet tall, the rear tailgate does not open high enough!
If you can find a competitor with all this for less than £25,000 please let me know.
