[@collinslfc]

@@newbeginnings8566 It will cost more than £5 more, but even so, if you calculate how many Qashqai's there are and multiply that by £5, then you'll realise how much more money that would cost Nissan. Besides, I don't think the quality looks that bad that you will miss someone.

I never had a reversing camera on my MK2 CRV and never had a problem reversing that. The Qashqai reversing camera fits its purpose absolutely fine!

Its still much better than Karoq sensors only as standard. I have new qashqai and never had any problem. When you reverse car sensors help as well in addition to camera. If you use qashqai 360 camera feature you'll love bird eye view

1.5 dCi 2WD from 2015 - bought 15 months ago with 60.000 km on it. 75.000 km later, only 2 oil and filter changes, not a single disappointment from the car, best buy I've ever made. Recommended to anyone interested in a reliable, economical and a nice looking car.

[@imanishay]

How does it perfoin the snow ❄ Really want a qashqai and the 2wd is a cheaper option

[@zaneverovati]

@@imanishay I live in Sweden, there's snow and ice a big portion of the year. With a good set of winter tyres and starting from 2nd shift instead of the 1st one, the experience was a safe, stable and enjoyable ride. Manual transmission enables me to roll from 2nd shift right away, so I eliminate any potential wheel spin. Great car all around. After selling it, I went and got an X-Trail as were having a child soon, and I wanted a bigger boot. That was the only thing with Qashqai, that the boot sometimes felt like lacking, whereas X-trail has space for days. Check the documentation of how many owners, how many miles, maintenance of course, and feel the clutch. If in doubt, don't buy. There's probably 20 more models of the same type which will have a better clutch. Also, beware - the 1.5 dCi has a dual mass flywheel, which could be costly to repair. Test a few different cars with the same engine and transmission, and You'll have a good benchmark. That's what I did Good luck.

[@imanishay]

@@zaneverovati I've had a dual mass fly wheel repair in the past not nice. Whats the x-trail like on fuel

[@zaneverovati]

@@imanishay computer on the Qashqai used to report an average of 5.8L for me. X-trail reports 7.0L. Cheers

[@madlfcdc5890]

You are forgetting a very important point. The Qashqai residual value means it's by far the best car in it's class second hand for the money. And don't believe the reliability surveys as they examine a tiny cross section of the actual cars on the road. There is a reason why the Qashqai is the best selling car in it's class in the UK.

Wait til the warranty runs out..We maintained ours perfectly, then less than two weeks over warranty, the gear box blows up, radio and head display unit kept turning off then resetting itself on a daily basis. Forked out over $4000 for repairs after which the repairer told us to get rid of it. We did. We will never deal with Nissan again, nor it seems, will anyone else we've spoken to.

[@LS-ly8gl]

@@anitas2486 Sorry you had a bad experience. I've dealt with 2 Nissan dealerships here in the UK. My experience has been 5 star! In fact my most recent was the best ever dealership I have ever dealt with. (Lookers in Leeds AMAZING!). I chose Qashqai again as my last one was a dream to drive and was 100% reliable. I've gone for top of the range this time the car is FANTASTIC!

[@adampoots1850]

Anita S name any company and or product and you can find a story like yours. It’s called the law of averages. You won’t deal with Nissan again because you had a bad experience, the reality is Nissan are a massive and successful company because they make great products. It would be unlikely to happen again if you bought another Nissan car. You could have bought a Volkswagen and experienced the same issues, then you wouldn’t deal with VW again.

Having owned a brand new 2016 'Tekna' auto diesel until 2019, my only criticism is the depreciation in its value after 3 years and bang on mileage, compared to that of a VW Tiguan or Audi Q2 etc.

[@HMCarReviews]

Best features in the Qasqai are the bake up camaera and top down parking assistance camera. Very useful when parking and manoeuvring around tight areas. I reviewed one myself on my channel, mine must have been the pre facelift version as I had a different infotainment system to the one you drove.

Ok. Cards on the table here. I currently own a 3 year old 3.0 diesel A6. Interior is the best I've had, it is a lovely place to sit. The engine is smooth, quiet and quick BUT this car lies to me. Official mpg is supposed to be 57 combined. The best I can achieve on a long run (which in fairness is what this car is designed for) is 47 mpg which is ok. Careful driving in mixed conditions is 40-41mpg. What gets me is the trip computer always overstates mpg by 2 or 3. I know what I get because I fill the tank and note fuel used and miles covered before resetting the trip. I've done this for 30k miles. I've discovered European makes (Audi, Renault, Ford and Vauxhall) are dishonest whereas Japanese makes are more accurate (Honda, Mazda and Toyota: I exclude Nissan because they are basically Renault).

Lots of reviews in videos are not absolutely correct. I have 1.3 qashqai and can say interior quality is great. Also reliability is falsely reported. First of all every 1 of 4 mid size suv is qashqai. Its selling hot for over 15 years so you'll hear enough bad reviews in comparison to suv like karoq which is only couple of years old and not that many karoq on road. Qashqai reliability has lot improved in latest models which is not reported. Its not fair potentially users are put away on reliability issue which is not even applicable to latest models. For example qashqai has new turbo engines which are great. Secondly lag reported with info system is not correct. I use every day and its great. I agree it has few issues like bit smaller screen and position not driver friendly. I was also put down by these negative reviews for qashqai and almost bought karoq. But most reviewer do not tell that karoq petrol manual transmission model has kangoring issue. I came across it in Test driver where it stall during changing gear from first to second gear. I then searched online and came across this reported by several karoq owners. To make it worse vw has never released proper fix or did callback. Why reviewer miss such important bits.

I have size 8 feet which could not fit on the floor and manage the clutch which I can in pretty much every car I have driven, also the electronic parking brake was awful and for those reasons I wouldn't buy one. Plus the infotainment system was too complicated and I didn't like it. Fundamentally its a very good car, but not for me though.

[@R3RLEE]

Lol how was the parking brake awful ?

2md to bottom??? I live in Canada, had to shopped for a small SUV’S in late November 2019, between Honda with the damn Civic engine and noisy too, less equipment, can’t trust the rusty Mazda, Hyundai Kona = small engine,retail value ???, for the comfort,equipment, fun to drive, average engine, I think the Qashqai doing good ,but not for gas/mileage.

Low reliability thanks to Renault involvement.

[@newbeginnings8566]

Exactly.... This is a jacked up Renault Clio...

[@robertceroli3512]

Here in Australia they use cvt auto manufacturer jatco (crapco) which is known to fail conveniently after warranty period between 100 to 160000km and their not cheap about 5k onwards and about 3to4 weeks off the road. Yeh dog and lemon brand which is a shame Nissan reliability suffered big time under Renault

[@winty2721]

Car 4 months in dealership and they have rejected claim for a new engine. It’s criminal what they have done to me. Absolutely disgusting even the customer care admitted the engine had a fault. Well if I can’t get my car fixed with a know fault might as well help as many as I can. Watch your air con,watch your oil consumption and smells of oil, check for any ratting noise, check water ingress on park assist or camera constantly come on when raining make sure you mention in writing any issues you have under warranty.

[@joshbacon8241]

Don’t be fooled by the badge on the front - just because it’s Japanese doesn’t mean it’s going to be reliable, because ever since Renault merged with Nissan in March 1999, Nissans haven’t been as reliable as they used to be before the merger...

[@newbeginnings8566]

That is definitely the truth.. The Renault merger was the start of the decline...

[@protestantsfailurend7890]

Disagreed. The acquisition made Nissan cars much more comfortable and the suspension comfortable and a joy from my experience through the years with Nissan cars in multiple continents.

The Nissan Qashqai is a weird car when it comes to reliability. I know many people who have had no problems and many other people who have had a terrible experience

[@peterforbes3386]

I'd check out common problems. If it was a book it would be the size of the manual. This is the reality folk's. It is, what it is. Disappointing.

[@Nismo3]

British people should buy the Qashqai because it’s made in UK. Do not forget it.

[@LS-ly8gl]

That's one of the reasons I chose mine. But, I absolutely love it. My last one was great on fuel, wonderful to drive and the 360 cameras were a godsend at times. The camera is improved on the new one. Designed and built in the UK is a massive plus point!

Owner of a 2017 Qashqai, if your thinking of buying a qashqai ill tell you right now DONT, maybe im one of the unlucky ones but in 1,5 Years i had 40 visits to the dealer, faulty main car computer, faulty radar, faulty plastic components (popped off after 2 months, had to replace the rear plastic trim), way too sensitive parktronic as in a spec of dust makes it think your about to collide, and make the hole system go nuts, and so mutch fun while driving to be startled by a loud signal from the parktronic, the suspension feels hard, i had cars 10+ years older that were way more softer, also if you hear any sounds coming from your suspension forget about the warranty because sounds coming from the suspension are not covered by warranty according to the dealer, the electrical system is so good that you get nice disco show every morning when you start the car all the lights start to flicker and according to Nissan it should be like this, and even after 40+ visits i couldn't return the car even if i wanted to because we here in Europe dont have the lemon law like the american's :( well this concludes my rant, save your self the trouble and buy anything else but the Nissan qashqai, Hope this heals atleast someone evade the trouble im having with my QashQai :)
