1.3 Dig-T 160 N-Connecta DCT 5dr

Smooth, quiet and comfortable

I hesitated quite a bit before buying this dual clutch transmission Qashqai but having discovered that the clutches were wet and had a fairly comprehensive test drive I made a decision and bought. So far (a few days and 250 miles) I've been very pleased.

The car feels long-legged so good for motorways and it's easy to find a good driving position. It has all I need in terms of tech but I added heated seats and screen. A heated steering wheel would have been a nice addition to the "heat pack".

I don't particularly like the electric handbrake but am getting used to it. Fuel consumption seems good so far and the ride is planted even on 18 inch wheels. No-one's been in the back yet but it seems roomy and there's good space in the boot.

So all good so far.
