After 4 years in a Zafera 1.9 diesel with 6 speed auto, I have changed to a 2 year old Qashquai manual. Having read all the reviews, I was expecting a big improvement. I now realise just how good my old Zafera was. The 6 speed auto was as good or better than any used before. The ride and handling was also better than Qashqai. However I must admit Qashqai is very smooth and quiet. The usual rattle from the boot is still to be conquered, I am about to strip off the lining and check inside. I am also missing the little places, rubber lined to place my bits, like garage door opener and keys. My Zaferra never used more than 47 MPG, Qahqai is about 37,

Early days, I will keep you informed.
