I used to work in the factory... My opinion is a big fat NO..
Having worked for Ford, Toyota, Honda, Jaguar and Nissan... Nissan are bottom of the list for quality IMO.

Have one mate who has one now and loves his. doesn't use it for towing though
Have another mate who had one and hated it, had that many problems he couldn't wait to get rid of it
However I think it either is or used to be the most popular car in its class in the UK and you don't get that if its pants ?

I know a few people that have them they all seem to like them all cars have issues I don't think there that bad as for towing I don't know
have a look at caravan club forums there always a good place to find if a cars any good for towing if your only going to do 6000 miles a year I would
get a petrol but it won't very good on fuel .

Diesel will have higher resale value than petrol --- but it is really a just Renault in a kimono.

As the diesel is a Renault you'll soon find out what it's like to tow.

Awful cars - no idea how they sold so many. Gutless diesel engines and shoddy build quality. Two of my sisters had them, and one was replaced under
warranty due to catastrophic engine failure, and the other had no end of issues, mostly related to fit and finish of the interior. And just for good
measure, I cannot ride in the passenger seat as there is insufficient headroom and a not adjustable seat. Utter tosh imho.

My neighbour has one - the rear visibility is awful. She's had a couple of parking/reversing scrapes because of it, not helped by her
not-to-great driving ability!

Most modern cars are hell to reverse because you can't see the back corners in the mirrors.

Kia Sportage ---- most buyers seem pretty happy with them and they have a 7 year warranty.
A lot of our local taxi drivers are now buying Kia and seem to like them

Dangerous as far as I'm concerned.
Hired one in France a couple of years ago and almost killed us all.
Power steering's electric - no feed-back whatsoever - when I ran a bit wide onto the road edge you couldn't feel where and which way the
wheels were pointing - almost dragged us into the ditch.....
Cheers, Pewe10

Not my type of car I must say and judging by the ones I see down south they're more suited to the school run than any work.

For balance - I've just covered 38,000 miles in just under 2 years in mine - no major problems at all and have averaged 54mpg from new. The only
niggle I have had is the drivers seat squeaking and that's being replaced under warranty (probably as I'm fat!). Heaps of toys as
standard, in fact I think the only think you change on mine was the colour and add some bling - yes some of the toys are useless but you'll be
hard pushed to get as many gadgets for the money.
Comfortable and above all, really quiet on the road. It's a nice place to sit - I have a 1.5dci Tekna so it won't win any races but the
engine has got better as the miles have come on. You do need to get used to the lack of grunt but that can be said for all unber-eco engines these
days at 99grm emissions.
My advice would be try one - although having said that, the new Jag F-pace looks nice!
Sigs are uncool.

My mrs had one on a 12 plate, we both loved it, no rattles or build problems, she now as a note as since we moved she's clocking up more miles,
again more than happy with it, yesterday I did a 160 mile round trip back home in it, average 74mpg. Qashqai did around mid 50's.
It's a car and does what it says on the tin.
Oh both n-tec.

Had one in Iceland as a hire car for a week, initially disappointed. But to be fair, It did everything I asked it to, in the dry, wet, ice, snow and
gravel.
Not sure i'd spend my own money on one, but if you are looking for car like that then its worth a look at least.
I tried the Renhalt Kadjar recently as a company car trial. Its the same car underneath, but wasn't my cup of tea either
although the computer/stereo/sat nav thing is awful.

We have 2 both 59 plates one is a 1.6 ntec and the other is a 2 litre 4wd version both petrol both grey. No complaints good driving position rear
cameras for reversing. Tyres are expensive but we are familiar with the problems cheapo tyres can bring and in the scheme of things not a major
consideration when you are whipping down the motorway.
Either we have been lucky or just had reliable vehicles as generally we have not had any problems mechanically other than drop links caused by pot
holes.
Previously we had an X trail which served us well and wife has recently acquired a Juke Nismo with awd paddle shift etc and for some one who just
thinks of a car as transport from A to B she loves it.
I would say to go and test drive a few and see for yourself!

If you can stretch that bit further, the skoda yeti 4x4 diesel is a mighty car.
