Re: Qashqai reliability

I know plenty of people on here are very happy with their QQ's and would vigorously defend them.
That seems fair enough, it's a QQ forum after all.
From my experience, at least, I'd tend to describe the car as a Curate's Egg.
I know I'm much happier in my motoring having swapped for something else.
I can fully understand how those with minimal/no faults are also happy with their QQ.
My view is to be wary of "young" second hand cars that were privately owned (but that would be the same for any vehicle).
As to the original question.
I've never owned / driven the new Hyundai Tuscon so i couldn't comment.
The original IX35 wasn't a bad car to drive (on test at least) but it didn't handle as well as the QQ.
Long term i couldn't say which would be better on an individual car basis but the fact i was prepared to get rid of my QQ within 2 years of ownership i would leave up to you to interpret.
