Nissan Qashqai 2009

I’ve had this grey Nissan Qashqai for a few years now and it’s honestly been a great first car to own. It’s easy to drive, comfortable, and never feels intimidating on the road, even when you’re in busy traffic or tight parking spots. It’s practical without feeling boring — there’s loads of space for family, friends, bags, or random life stuff, and the higher driving position makes everything feel a bit calmer and more in control. I’ve always liked the grey too, it looks clean and modern and doesn’t show every mark. It’s been really reliable for me and cheap enough to run, which is exactly what you want when you’re starting out. If you’re looking for a first car that’s straightforward, solid, and easy to live with day to day, this one’s been spot on.
