comfort , space , seats , access , ride , driving , noise -- all good

aircon , media ok

visibilty good high view , usual pillar blind spots, some reflections.

engine adequate power INCLUDING towing 850kgs caravan

boot had to remove flatboard and rear sill cover to fit suitcases .

economy acceptable , but nowhere near claimed figures even with gentle ECO mode driving.

reliability much too soon to know - new technology on engine and gearbox , no troubles so far .

the key issue for me is the behaviour of the cvt/xtronic/ECU.
there is the usual event at around 15/20 mph as there was on the primera , but another at around 35/40mph.
this event manifests itself variously as little lurches/drags/binds/surges , particularly before warmed up .
it is generally more fussed and jumpy than i found the primera cvt , which was immense.

i switch off start/stop , and dont use any digital connect stuff.

generally we like this car , it is doing the job and is nice to drive and ride in .
Qashqai acenta 1.2 petrol xtronic jan2016 - flame red - no bells and whistles.

previous , now departed , Primera 2l petrol cvt 2001 147000 faultless miles.
