I was thinking about getting a nissan quashqai....anone got one, any thoughts? Thinking of testing one out tomorrow. Intended purpose is to do the weekly commute and as a kiddy wagon at the weekend.
I know it's not a beemer or such but, well, I can't afford a premium contractor motor at the moment.
Oh, and i'm gonna lease it, not tax effective but casflow is crap as warchest is piled into plan B - which will be up and running by the end of the month
So any opinions on the 'squishy'?

If you can't bring yourself to drive such a thing, the Cashcow is not much better.

If you can't afford a decent car and it's for ferrying kids around just get a cheap motor like a Mondeo Estate or a Vauxhall Vectra or Zafira. Cheap as chips and easy to service. Tonnes of spares in scrappies online.
Pick one up with a years MOT for about £1500, if you are lucky will last years.
Why waste cashflow if you are skint?
Don't really want a £1500 dagenham dustbin - not this time around anyhow.
