Buying a new or used car

Do you know that the glass roof in a Qashqai is strong enough to support a bear?

I had a Qashqai and didn't like it at all. I'm not sure why.

Qashqai vote here from me as well. Lovely and comfy, and I bought second-hand from the dealer.

I bought a second hand Nissan Qashqai when I had my second hip-replacement, I’m very happy with it. It’s so much easier to get in and out of, it’s good on fuel consumption I love the reversing camera and built in sat-nav.. I’d recommend them.

We have just purchased a new Honda Crosstar which is classed as a small SUV.

We looked at loads from large SUV downwards. But there is just the two of us so In the end we decided on the Honda, and I absolutely love it!

It is a hybrid automatic - an absolute dream to drive and very easy of fuel consumption.

It isn’t the highest one, but is fine for DH with back problems.

We have previously changed a 10 year old Peugeot 3008 for a 1 year old Nissan Qashqai.
The Peugeot was very spacious and comfortable, and great fuel economy. The new model , although lovely to look at, is too expensive for us.
The price of the Qashqai, at one year old and with 2600 miles on the clock, was 35% less than new. Still has two years warranty. Again it is comfortable and roomy, and much easier to get in and out of than say a saloon. We are very pleased with it and will be sticking to small SUVs now I think.

Thanks kittylester that might be a good idea to buy the magazine

I would have thought a car with a higher ride might be better for him - maybe easier to get in or out of, Civics are quite low, aren't they.

We are currently looking at new cars and have bought a What Car magazine. They are sorted in to categories with reviews. You may want a small or medium sized SUV. But really, I know nothing.

I hope he recovers quickly and well.
