Some times it pays not to ask the question you just know you are not going to like the answer to

Qashqai. Decent car with no real issues. If you test drive it and like it, buy it

I can relate to that. Got paid by two local magazines until they too fell over and most recently, by BMW UK for an article on a specific BMW in NZ. Pays for some magazine subscriptions but doesn't make me any more knowledgeable than anyone else - just opinionated!

I take a lot of store on previous history kaz, but over recent years, have only bought brand new for daily drivers. In terms of the K engine, I found out recently that you need to rev them now and again and that an ex Nana car may not be the best buy at all.

ah good, sorry about that, many post never to be heard of again. The thing is some of the best cars many have owned & have great reputations elsewhere get slated by D&L, sure he does pick up on some commonly know faults or stuff that can be attributed to any car but 99% is tripe & personal preference. If everyone followed D&G we'd all be driving Morris Oxfords or Toyota Corollas. which funnily enough he likes

agree D @ L is just a grumpy old mans personal opinion , . that he likes Toyotas and every thing else must be trash . .he is not even consistent as some of the vehicles he dislikes are Toyotas just re badged for different Markets/countrys. ignore him he is a Dinosaur !

Have a look at the cars you like,, get your local garage man to look at it on his hoist ,,and get him to take it for a run ,yeah actually take the car you are going to buy to a professional to get it checked out. ! A PRE PURCHASE INSPECTION ha ! how many of us follow our own Advice ? Buy what you like/want its your money /and you will be the only one who can say "yeah thats my car and i like it ,its a good one !

Address? Never paid me final columns. Auto car sort of bought it and said it incorporated it for a while, though suspect that was more a boardroom thing.

Oh I hold the opinion I'm more knowledgable.
Back to op. I think you've got the hint people who actually know what they're talking about with experience, and those who just think, agree not to listen to Clive Wilson. It's a good car.
