Test drive Nissan Qashqai 2007 - 2010 SUV

The tribe is money

Recently, it has become fashionable to look for small tribes on our planet, which are attributed to almost mythological mind, strength, beauty, endurance, courage, resistance. To find and release in their honor numerous parties of cars, which are attributed to the same mythological qualities. Another example of such an union of ethnographers and motorists, the Iranian tribe of nomads, which are very difficult to see, since they always move from place to place, and therefore we have to judge indirectly, by the Nissan Qashqai car. The creators of metal and plastic tried to show the world of Kashkaytsy from the flesh and blood, the editor -in -chief of the autopilot Nikolai Fomenko tried to figure out.
District monastery. First thought: I think that ordinary Kashkaytsy would have come into rabies, having met with a car named after themselves. Because where they live, Qashqai, apparently, will never be able to drive. Full -wheel drive is far from a guarantee of complete patency. However, what do we have these Kashkai and their feelings? We have our own idea of \u200b\u200breal nomads and what they need. These are those who are traveling from Maryino to Mitino or from Biryulyovo to Mytishchi or other wandering areas. For this difficult and complete dangers of the Nissan Qashqai route, of course, and created. Tutto will appear the best qualities of a nomad. Resistance, for example. After all, without the ability to re -break in traffic jams of all neighbors in the transport stream Nomad and not survive. Like without endurance, of course. When others begin to take their nerves, and they will fight for fences in order to break out of the McD blockade, it is very difficult not to succumb to general psychosis and continue to accelerate from 0 to 10 km/h. This is very difficult, but the nomad can.
 
Babylonian tower. Nissan Qashqai business project in its purest form. A set of mechanisms and systems under a well -known brand. This is not a work of car, not a creation with a spark of God. When you start to understand the car, it becomes completely clear to you. But I want to immediately emphasize: this is a good business project. Even excellent when it costs you 23 thousand dollars. When in $ 35 thousand it does not look so tasty. However, the American dollar is falling. Can it cost to wait a bit? The car will not become better, but it will become cheaper. One way or another, but Qashqai is a project with a Nissan seal, a company that can be trusted (otherwise to whom to trust in this world at all?).
 
The project, however, was implemented in the highest office of the company. In the office, where everyone is sitting on different floors and very far from each other. Designers are sitting at 8m, motorist at 61m, transmission at 33m. (By the way, about metaphors: the design of the car was developed in the Nissan London Studio, the design was finished in the engineering center of the company in Cranfield, and the assembly at the factory in Sanderland. Approx. A.) and there are only three elevators in the building. And then one does not work, and the other is on prevention. In addition, the phones are floundering, computers hang, and the courier took maternity leave. It is clear that the connection between floors is not very good. From here, it seems to me, all the problems of the Qashqai car follow. Each of the departments was busy with his work, everyone tried to the best of his strength, but no one took care of how everything would work as a whole.
The popularity of Qashqai is evidenced not only by indicators of the model sales, but also by the Internet of motorists. By the number of sites qashqaicity.ru; qashqai.bezochedi.com; www.qashqaiclub.com; www.kashkai.ru; www.clubqashqai.ru; Qashqainissan.com.ua around which fans are grouped, Qashqai is one of the unconditional leaders of the Russian -speaking spider space. On sites, you can find not only reports of the owners of the Qashqai car for its operation or reprinting tests, but also find information about the options for tuning the model, all kinds of competitions and competitions, as well as joint events of the Kashkaevo. games in billiards, barbecue, beer parties, etc. The car became the hero of the next Russian militant of the last series of Anti -Killer. In one of the scenes, the main character of the film performed by Ekaterina Klimova has to go to Qashqai from the chase of three fives BMW at once. This qashqai is not limited to this sale: Goshi Kutsenko, he is Colonel Philip Korenev, travels in the film on Pathfinder, and the banker Mikhail Efremov on Teana.
 
The beauty is terrible. Let's start with the design. I got into this car, and remembered my feelings of the 1982 model, when I first saw the Sharp tape recorder. After all, there was an alien apparatus from another planet. There was a color music, an equalizer, and a hitchhiking, and so many more amazing things, not a single long winter evening was spent on studying. Qashqai should surprise its owner today as Sharp of the Soviet man of the 1982 model. What is not in it. The button for regulating the position of the fan damn in how! And that is. But at the same time in the cabin is a full confusion. So many buttons, so many things are impossible to understand them immediately. Muscle memory will have to be trained for years.
 
The cyclopic orange eye of the road informant is a crystal ball of a hypnotist. Sooner or later, the driver will fall into a trance. The convenience of the rear chamber is killed by the inconvenience of a huge rear -view mirror. It overlaps the windshield half. Well, it would be possible to see something behind. So no: a figured window at the stern is closed with a ceiling, and seats, and dirt at the same time.
 
In the middle of an impressive electronic farm in Qashqai, a display sticks out. He sticks out as if Vasily Petrovich, having bought Kalina on the thirteenth salary and staring on a radio market for $ 300 Prology, decided to fix the design. He cut a hole in the panel with a knife and proudly thrust this Prology to the most prominent place. However, all Vasily Petrovich carefully made his hands carefully from his place not from one place. And what? You turn on this display and see an absolutely Chinese picture. She will remind you a game called a girl, draw a cartoon for the 286th computer.
 
The puck, which you change the fullness of the drive, is as I understand it, Hello Idrive and MMI at the same time. However, I would like to ask: why is it so difficult and why so ugly? No bad copies, do something original. Make the drive switch from the voice. Imagine the driver sits and commands: two leaders. Four leading. Two presenters. Block. Well, something like that, it would be more fun.
Seed a glass. I tried to catch Blue Tooth, but I didn’t succeed. I probably have a bad phone. I was upset and decided to set off. I click on the gas pedal and immediately send hello to the high office. The feeling that you have a supply of agility, ends about 100120 km/h somewhere. Further, as if you have an unfinished piece of meat, you have a chest. Do not exhale, do not spit out. The motor is 2 -liter, and the depth that should be in such an engine. In a 2 -liter BMW or Mercedes you feel that under the gas pedal is underworld. And here is the bazaar. A full glass of semacks 10 rubles, half five. I paid five gets half a glass and not a semacic. Why then was there a 2 -liter engine, which the same Honda completely demonstrates us from all sides as a gun? Unclear.
 
Handing is just a catastrophe. It throws you, as if you have a sectral box. The sensation intensifies because of the American chairs with a huge pillow and back created for organisms exhausted by hamburgers. When moving on the machine. In the drive, wonderful things are performed. Between 6800 and 5200, suddenly a completely sudden set of speed occurs (apparently, the damper did not close and gasoline continues to whip). This is amazing: you are going, and everything seems to be smooth and good. Suddenly, between the third and fourth gear, you get +20 km/h, although the leg on the pedal remains motionless. So the energetic singer on the quail rides from to to la through octave. Well, if +20 km/h on a straight line, and if you approach the turn?
 
Of course, you start to slow down, but you slowly slow down. Because the brakes of Qashqai are disproportionate, especially those that are behind. As for their quality, I have great doubts. There, such a caliper hangs, as if it was cast at the Izhora plant in the year 42. So this is what happens when you press the brake pedal, and the car suddenly decided to go faster. Your front axis is loaded, and the back rises according to ten centimeters. And no clutch of the rear wheels with the road. In a turn, you begin to go with the letter L. It turns out that you seem to steal a car. He raised his ass of the car, removed the steering wheel under his stomach, rested his front wheels, like horns, into the ground and in this position and lead it. When turning on the front drive with the car, you can still cope, there is no full -wheel drive. The car will not go in a turn, but right from the highway with all four wheels. Again, when moving from the third to the fourth gear, the Qashqai seconds into three steers turns into dust. The impression is that at this moment electronics gives a command to change the stiffness of the steering wheel, but the rigidity does not change instantly, but after a certain rupture of the chain, an eclipse.
In a series of frontal and lateral crastes conducted according to the EURONCAP method, the car scored 36.83 points out of the maximum possible 37. This is the highest rating corresponding to a rating of five stars. In the entire history of tests. Before Qashqai, not one of the machines we tested earned full 37 points for protecting the driver and an adult passenger. The General Secretary of the Institute Adrian Hobbs said. For the safety of children in the car, Qashqai gained four stars. There are two stars for pedestrians safety. The car did not have enough 38 hundredth points to the third asterisk. The main claim of experts to the hood cover, which is a danger to pedestrians. However, not so long ago, Nissan announced the recall from the European market about 25 thousand Qashqai due to the fact that airbags may work incorrectly in the car.
 
Student Dowel's head. In this behavior of the car, I am inclined to blame, first of all, electronics. Electronics should connect all the systems so that you have no torn movements in anything and nowhere: neither in the rotation of the wheel, nor in the steering wheel, nor in the transmission. And here she clearly does not cope with many operations that she needs to control. She has television under the command, GPS, ESP, transmission, cold start and servo and a small cart. Electronics, as it were, takes a sigh before each operation. What is terrible. Because if the driver makes stupidity he will be in the fence. The Qashqai electronic unit reminds me of a responsible employee who sits and thinks: God, when will the working day end. Someone climbs to him all the time: to sign one piece of paper, get the other money, the third discuss something. And he speaks on the phone all the time and at the same time presses some buttons, gives out certificates, asks one to wait a minute. From the second he waves it away, the third throws something with the words on, only leave. There are many of them, but he is alone. It is clear that with such a head the legs will not go quickly. Ideal operating speed Qashqai 6070 km/h. All that is more than a hundred is extreme. Therefore, the main part of the buyers I would give recommendations approximately this nature: dear girls, future young mothers, please be careful. Do not buy 2 -liter cars. This is too much for you. Choose better cars with a 1.6 engine or even better 1.4 liters. Do not break the speed limit. And do not try to make sure that the car can drive quickly.
 
Subject to these recommendations, the danger is disappeared, Qashqai turns into x3, and reality into an advertising picture. The audience escorts this car with delighted glances. In it, a pair of pigeons, when viewed on which everyone becomes clear that their life was a success. He gathered and bought her a car. It was the fourth purchase in the family. At first they bought an apartment. Then a big car to him. Then a big fur coat to her. And finally, they collected the remaining money and purchased her Qashqai car. In fact, with such a fur coat is not going to the subway.
Author: quite young, finding myself behind the scenes of the Moscow Art Theater, I lost my head from the mysterious atmosphere of the stage. I gained access to something closed, invisible to others. Out of the wings, it was interesting to watch even the weakest productions. But gradually, reality began to appear in the dusty rays of sophists. I began to notice that the celestialsovets drink a lot and cursing disgustingly, that all around the intrigue and resentment. But the main thing, no matter how self -sufficient the rope -armored backside of the theater seemed, it exists only for the product of the performance ... The Nissanian backstage seemed no less enchanting. There were all the magical ingredients: the secret, the surprise of little discoveries, interesting people whose life passes on the other side of the scene. And I got carried away. The P32L project, as Qashqai is indicated in the factory documentation, became not indifferent to me. I spent a year of life with him and spent 6010 minutes to record everything. But now I see that the performance itself is far from as emotional as what happened behind the scenes. Hence the frustration. Glossarius.ru says: Frustration (from lat. Frustratio destruction of plans) The psychological state of the personality, characterized by the presence of a stimulated need that has not found its satisfaction. If you believe the glossary, this test is a frustration situation. And Qashqai, therefore, is my frostrotor. Frostrotor ...
Auto Wizards: with the tribe in honor of which this car is named, everything, however, is clearly nomadic, lives in the south of Iran. The press release that kindly informing about this contains a hint for a better understanding of the image of Qashqai City nomad. It is not necessary to delve into the literal meaning of this phrase, otherwise a purely Russian formula inevitably pops up without a specific place of residence. Of course, it was meant completely different that it was a car intended, first of all, for a young townspeople leading an active lifestyle. I don’t know what the Iranian tribe is glorious, but the word kashkai sounds, you see, in an original way. We are quickly used to Cheroki. Tuaregs and others in the same spirit, so we will get used to the pink (the harmonious matter of taste). In addition, Rousse is pronounced easily, in the great and powerful combinations of hissing and solid consonants as much as you like.
The reader’s letter on the CarClub self -portal: I am a resident of the village of Small rot and I need a universal car. The old people in the evening gathering decided to take Miles Kashkai. I went to the city. I bought a kashkai, only I had to give half a damage to the queue.
 
i have the first impressions: the fact that the rear seats are on the step is great! Having removed the rear seats, I made a podium to seedlings. I attached a removable bulldozer knife to the protruding lip on the bumper, and now, without spending extra money, I will rake the manure and rake snow in the winter. Thanks to a high clearance, Kashkai behaves well on arable land. Having attached a cultivator to him, I plowed my six acres in 20 minutes. So Kashkai is a really universal car, advertising did not deceive. If you want Pasha, you want this one, and you want to Katai in the evening at the club. Looking at my successes in the development of virgin lands, the village gathering decided: to hand over the tractors and agricultural machinery for scrap metal and to purchase 50 Kashkayev and rename the state farm to the state of Ilyich to the state farm to the state farm. Now in our passport in the registration column there is proud with. Kashkai and we are called the Kashkayevites. I already see the herd of Kashkayev rushing along the virgin lands, and behind the seeder, my Frosya scatters seeds with generous Zhmeni. Thanks to the dear comrades from Nissan for the embodiment of my dreams of a universal car from me personally and from my fellow villagers!
Full -wheel drive 4x4: order that, we don’t know what, but it will definitely be good. One of the future happy owners of Qashqai shared with me in poetic form. I, accustomed to touch first, try, take a closer look, and only then make sharp movements towards the cash register, was dumbfounded by a similar attitude, memorable at times of the global deficit of the 80s ... But the car is not sugar and no sausage, and the price of the error may be wherever above! What is the phenomenon? I will say right away, in the photographs of Qashqai I did not like. It is too compound, the expression on the face is boring, the profile is harmonious, but not original, echoes the Nissan Murano, and Subaru Tribeca, and a dozen other cars, including Mazda3 hatchbacks. Feed is also without revelations, we have already seen all this somewhere ... Or maybe because he is impressed by everyone that he is dressed in fashion, albeit in a consumer goods? And finally, the Nissan Qashqai fiery stands a stone's throw from me and invitingly waves the turn signals in response to pressing the alarm button. And it looks much larger than you expect based on press releases!
