Looking to buy a 2003 Nissan Qashqai car? Used Car Expert has thousands of 2003 Nissan cars for sale from 2003 Nissan car dealers and private sellers across the UK.
The Qashqai is Nissans take on the junior 4X4 market - it competes with the Honda CR-V, Ford Kuga and our choice, The Chevrolet Captiva. In many ways it has the measure of them.
The only real flaw the Qashqai has is a poor ride. In terms of handling, refinement and practicality it is very hard to beat. As a result prices are very firm.
Everybody and his dog wants a diesel Qashqai so our advice is to go petrol and save a mint.
