As someone with backache, the comfortable, heated seats were welcomed - if only Nissan had a massage seat option. You sit high up in the Qashqai and have a wonderful view left, right, front and back... and up, if you press the button to slide back the blind and reveal the full length glass roof. It makes the solid, quality cabin feel huge. The many toys include Bluetooth phone and iPod connections. The engine is smooth, quiet and does the job. Large families with luggage and dog: consider the Qashqai!
