Looking at getting a 2nd hand one, but am wary of anything that doesn't have a U after a Q.
Anyone got / had one, have any horror stories etc ?
Also, not bought a car for ten years now, so can anyone in the know say what the most likely accepted knock-off could be from the advertised forecourt prices ??

Think What Car? is your best bet for guide prices and what discount you shpuld expect - but I'm not an expert!
I can certainly recommend it - very comfy drive and bags of room and good size boot.
We have got the 1.6 manual and although took a while to get used to after my Astra Turbo I have no complaints.
If you want a bit more poke get the 2 litre but cant say I have ever felt it is under powered.
Petrol usage is reasonable and insurance/tax (for the 1.6) are good as well.
The missus likes it (was her choice really) and is good bridge between small car and 4x4.
have to say I thought the Ford was the Nissan with a different badge
It's a good looking car with a high driving position, but the boot is only average size despite its SUV looks. My mate highly recommended the 2.0 diesel engine (and he should know, he builds them). You may want to look at the Qashqai +2 for more practicality as it has a bigger boot or two extra flip-up seats in the back - however it's another couple of grand, there is no legroom for the extra seats and you may as well go for a proper MPV if that factor is important to you.
In the end, I concluded it fell between two stools - neither practical enough to be a proper MPV or load carrier like an estate, and not small/nippy enough to be a city runaround.
Having done tons of research, I think the Ford S-Max is well worth looking at further (good value; proper 7-seater or 5-seater with big boot; great to drive etc..).
Just a couple of points here...His driving position will just be two cushions on the seat, secondly i bet you a pound to a penny there's enough legroom. Does it come with a ladder to get in it. ;-)
Or illegal cab drivers outside the Venue.
Oi
And you : )
I've just seen that Mercede's make engines for Nissan's higher end market, where ever that is ; )
Here you go 14 grand full spec

AFKA jumps out Guy appologises and says dwarf wresting is illegal in this country
Ketman's dad, the real one, has one and I know is very impressed with it.
Be interested to see what deal you get.
true the Honda CRV is a nice car, Golfie has one, but things on the Quasqai come as standard that you'd pay for on the Honda.
Sorry...........I have an FRV - strange car as it has 6 seats, with 3 at the front !!
Only bought it as it was the only car (I could afford) that would fit 3 child seats across the back..........ideally like the Ford S-Max but can't see it in Auto w/leather seats (a must with 3 kids under 7)
ps. I am not a cab driver, 60+, Asian or a woman.
pps. There are three spec levels and I would not advise the lowest one.
Only 3 problems, you have to pick it up from kuwait, it will be too big for Tescos and will cost you 150 quid to fill it up!
Apart from that perfect!!! you can see it here http://www.q8showroom.com/details/en/car/kuwait/10327/-Ford-Expedition.html
We are looking to move to Singapore and the price of cars is very complicated and is limited (by license). a 2008 honda civic type R would set you back about gbp 44,000!!!!!!
Being serious though the qasquai is a great car, but would also look at the hyundai's the new ones are very good.
I really like the new hyundai coupe, went in the turbo version when i was in korea last month and it goes like stink.
Personally I like the Honda but it all depends what you want in a car. Honda will go on forever, Ford are improving and Mazda do a really nice people carrier type car.
All things German cost more than their counterparts and its no longer because of better build quality
