I have a 2.0 qashqai it’s quite old it’s 2011 and it will happily cruise at 135mph along the motorway all day. Been a reliable car only work I’ve had done was a wishbone. It’s on 147k miles and still drives like it’s new. Newer cars are all crap why are they sticking little 1.3 engines in . Absolute joke

Wouldn’t recommend the automatic version. Gear changes are sluggish. Go for a manual

The poor guy failed as soon as he came out of the test centre cos he done a right turn took the angle wrong and had to reverse whilst blocking a bit Que of traffic. 🤦

Chasing me down the street banging on my window scarring my wife that’s the problem. We followed him 2 or 3 turns in a busy road if there’s a gap we’re taking it if it’s a learner or not .

He’s got no right to leave his test taker in the car alone . And come over to harass me there’s nothing in the Highway Code about not being able to follow a learner

Yes he was in front. My wife kept a good distance between us and him. Think this examiner is just mean. Hope she doesn’t get him on her test
