Qashqai Model: Mk.3 Qashqai - J12 (2021+) New Model

Post by Audiqueen »

Lovely cars but how come they’re so popular with old people, fat 40+ housewives and those who don’t go over 50mph? Even on a motorway. They could be forgiven but there’s no sign at all that a juicy 4x4 v8 will get put in there anytime soon, or just a 4x4 engine so what is the point? Not sure the extra largeness of them does any favours and certainly not to anyone else when you’re stuck behind one in a car park! I think the Japanese were taking the mick when they made these, considering their other, much more sparkly offerings have been Nissan GT R45’s and Mitsubishi Evo’s :)

High seating position - easy to get in and out of.

Don’t buy one if you dislike them that much, get a V8 4x4 and good luck with the fuel bill!
