Hi, thanks for the feedback, really pleased you liked it. Overall I really liked the car, its a shame Nissan no longer make the +2 version, they force you to the X-Trail if you want more seats or boot space.
Hi, I thought your review was very informative. You gave your opinion from an owners perspective, concentrating on the most practical aspects of vehicle ownership. Not bla bla at all. Well done.
Thanks for such a down to eearth review Huw. We are buying a second hand Quashqai+2 and whilst the sunroof and condensation are a concern, the other points you covered outweigh the few. Thanks again.
Thanks for the feedback. We really liked ours its a shame there is no longer a +2 option on the Qashqai, you now have to get the X-Trail for the extra seats. The X-Trail is nice, I drove one only a couple of weeks ago, but its expensive.
accordionstu I’m looking at getting a qashqai +2, is there anything I should be looking out for. Looking at 1.5dci ntec+ with around 60k miles on a 12 plate. Any advice you have is appreciated.
Hello, I have nissan qashqai +2 2014 and I have a problem wanting to lock the doors through the button in the door and this is not done. Can you do how to activate this feature
Absolutely! I wonder if other cars with glass roof suffer as well? Personally I don't like glass roofs, when you are driving you don't use them and your passengers soon grow bored of looking up all the time.
Haha I was just about to make this comment but thought I’d check if someone already had, Childish I know but funny. Enjoyed the review though I’ve just bought one myself 👍🏻
Hi Huw I have just bought a 3 year old 1.5 dci. When setting of in first gear I have noticed a dead point when coming of the clutch and applying the accelerator to the point where it feels like it is going to stall or over rev. have you noticed any issues with this my partner is having the same problem an other people have had a go and they have noticed this to. have you had any experience with this thanks laurie
Laurie Carefoot Hi Laurie, thanks for the comment. If it's what I think you describe it's turbo lag combined with the fly by wire throttle. Every turbo diesel I've had has exhibited this to a greater or lesser degree. Its especially noticeable when the engine revs have dropped to idle and the turbo is not providing any boost. Of all the turbo diesels I've had and driven, the Quashqai was not the worst (C4 Picasso was the worst). You get used to it and I drive around it now. My friends Avensis does this too and that is a petrol normally aspirated engine and it's all down to the fly by wire throttle.
Hi Huw Thanks for your feedback I really appreciate it. Your review is the best one I have watched so far, spot on. I took it to my friend who is a mechanic and he pretty much said the same thing, that there appears to be no fault with the car and I probably just need to get used to it. In your oppinion do you think I should raise it with the dealer I purchased the car from while it is still under warranty or just give it some time to get used to it as I have only had it a week? Apart from this issue I really like the car. Many thanks, Laurie.
Hi, thanks for the positive feedback, its really nice to know my effort is appreciated. I made the video firstly to test a cheap action camera, I never expected so may views! I'm not in the position to say wether you should raise your concerns with the dealer or not as i've not driven your Qashqai, but my advice, which applies to anyone, would be if you are not happy with a car bought from a dealer let them know sooner rather than later. The longer you leave it the trickier dealers can be.
Thanks again Huw. I think I will get them to check it over and try and test drive another qashqai so I can do a comparison. You've been a real help. Have a good Christmas and all the best for the new year. Laurie
Thanks for taking the time to comment. Cabin filter and A/C were working perfectly. The problem lies with the heat/cool cycle of a glass roof and the lack of insulation which helps control this.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I really can’t remember i’m afraid, we changed this car in 2017. Go to your nearest Nissan dealer I’m sure they can sort you out.
Huw Jones i passed the qashqai I saw the 2 seats and its not 2 seats it a gimmick Im going on the outlander it more rommy and 3 row its comfortable Not turture flat seats Thanks for the quick response
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I don't have the car any longer so can't really be sure, my guess is that it is probably too narrow for a double mattress. In the version I had with the pano roof, sleeping in it would have led to lots of condensation though.
@@huwjones5879 yeah I watched your video, condensation probably made you get rid the whole car. I preferred hatchbacks whole my life but now I’m looking at suv so I can reach some secluded beaches and if the sunsets good and had too many beers I can sleep on the car. Thank you for your thoughts, looks like a good car so far...
@@nothingreal8843 Not the condensation, that was just annoying. I got rid of it as the lease was up. Not sure what the off-road capability of a Qashqai is like so I hope beaches don’t get too far off the beaten track!
Thanks for the feedback. It wasn't intended to be a sales video, but if you are going to buy one, I hope you enjoy it was much as I did. It's a very good car.
nice car really, i have a '10 1.6 petrol 5 seats, my problem is the armrest, its lets say useless. its way far back, and you cant move it forward. i know its not that big deal, but still, nice video tho, I love mine will be with me for a few more years i hope
Hi, thanks for taking the time to view and comment. I shot the video in 2016, just before I returned the car when the lease was up. The car was a 2013 registration plate so I had been driving the car for 3 years. It's a genuine "long term" review, my observations are based on time spent actually living with the vehicle, not a couple of days or hours like some "reviews".
+huw jones i miss my nannys +2 dCi n-tec+ in black beautiful 62 reg i miss him so dealer it's about to sold to it's next owner please look after i've grew with him since i we're 18 now i'm 23 (guees my year i'm born and please don't mention the year the mondeo and rover 600 was launched) and also cyrmu am byth.
Hi, thanks for finding my video. I have to disagree about your remarks on the 1.5 turbo Diesel engine in the Qashqai. Yes, it’s a Renault engine but it’s smooth, has plenty of torque and gives very good fuel economy. I drove this car for 3 years as my daily driver and it never performed anything less that perfect. Nissan were saved from bankruptcy by Renault and many of the vehicles by both companies share platforms. I’ve been driving for 40 years, worked in the motor trade, and driven/worked on hundreds of cars during that time, and believe me this engine is a good one.
Huw Jones we are wonder car but you only driving and bla bla... RUclips is a global video platform and watching everyone world citizen... You dont show the car inside and out side pictures. Only bla bla.. Got it? Sory bad english but thats all
Thanks for taking the time to comment. It would have been good for my future reviews if you had made the effort to explain why, in your opinion, this is a bad review? Out of curiosity I checked your RUclips channel and its just a playlist of random bollocks, no original content at all.
@@asimenor there are lots of videos showing what you want. This was intended to be a long term review ion what it is like to actually own the car, not just drive it for 1 day. I concentrate on what does not get covered in other videos.Got it?
Great review, Huw. Really enjoyed that you gave both what you like and what you don't like. It's a real world review, from a real world guy. Nice one!
Thanks for feedback Ian, most welcome. I was very pleased with the Qashqai, its an excellent car, the engine is a real gem.
Great to watch an honest review, especially for what seems like a top spec. Thanks

I agree, we looked at the X-trail but £29K for the model we liked was more than I want to spend

I'm considering buying one of these to replace my Toyota. Thanks for this very informative review.
Hi Cassius, thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. We liked the Qashqai very much, never had any trouble with it.
thank you, great review
Glad you liked it, thanks for taking the time to give feedback, always appreciated.
Great review thank you
Hi, Thanks for taking the time to comment.
very true about de condensation i have a 2011 qashqai +2 and in the winter is not good if it comes to condensation
Absolutely! I wonder if other cars with glass roof suffer as well? Personally I don't like glass roofs, when you are driving you don't use them and your passengers soon grow bored of looking up all the time.
Great review thanks 10/10
Thanks for taking the time to comment, very much appreciated.
Hi. Good review, deffo getting one of these. Also around 4:05 I thought I heard a fart sound
Hi, thanks for taking the time to comment. That sound you heard is the creaking of the suspension, you get used to it ;)
Haha I was just about to make this comment but thought I’d check if someone already had, Childish I know but funny.

Hey huw just wondering how much did you pay for it because I'm thinking of getting a qashqai +2 thanks.
Hi James, thanks for the feedback. I bought it new in 2013. I don't have it anymore, went back to Vauxhall Insignia. Review currently being shot.
I’m looking a 7 seater thinking about Nissan qashqai +2 or touran which one is better? Any advice
Hi, thanks for taking the time to comment. I’ve never driven a Touran so can’t really give you any advice.
Great review
Ajaz Khan thanks. Glad you liked it.
Don’t blame your sunroof for the clearing your window… make sure your interior filter is not blocked and make sure your air-con valves works correctly
Thanks for taking the time to comment. Cabin filter and A/C were working perfectly. The problem lies with the heat/cool cycle of a glass roof and the lack of insulation which helps control this.
How do you lay the back seats flat? I can't figure that out...
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I really can’t remember i’m afraid, we changed this car in 2017. Go to your nearest Nissan dealer I’m sure they can sort you out.
Is the back seats will suit kids 6 and 4 yrs old ?
You said it useless u refer to kids that age or older ?
IMO they are useless, there is very limited leg room. You would really have to try them with your kids.
Huw Jones i passed the qashqai
I saw the 2 seats and its not 2 seats it a gimmick
Im going on the outlander it more rommy and 3 row its comfortable
Not turture flat seats
Thanks for the quick response
If you get rid of all the back seats, you it be enough space for a mattress?

Is this 2014?? I thought they stopped producing these cars at 2013, the qashqai+2
