First impressions count, they say, so it's a good job our initial view of the Qashqai+2 are favourable.
Everything seems logically laid out in the cabin, so I haven't yet had to refer to the manual, and it's passed with distinction its first multiple child test, taking two adults and four kids (not all mine) with ease on a day trip.
There are a couple of issues that are at odds with the car's sense of simplicity - I'll expand on those in future reports - but so far everything seems tickety-boo. (Or should that be 'tickety Q+2'?)
