Nissan Quasqai 1.5 diesel
Skoda Roomster 1.4 or 1.9 diesel(have'nt drove the 1.4 yet,may be underpowered)
Anyone got either of these?

    Not the roomster but our choice for MIL was between the Yeti and Qashqai ened up going for the Quashqai purely because of speed of delivery and btter deals around at the moment.

    Qashqai suits her and this is her second.

    Why do you want a diesel?

    Clarkson loves the Yeti, and that's good enough recommendation for me :rotfl:

    Qashqai has a larger cabin and muck more legroom for rear seat passengers.

    I wanted a diesel purely for fuel consumption,done our sums and feel that this is our best option.
    Why do you ask?

    We've got some fleet Quashqai's (Petrol) and economy is 28-32mpg. Pretty poor IMO

    Damn - I'm getting rid of my 2.0 Laguna because it won't go past 33MPG - if a Quashqai won't go beyond that then that's ridiculous considering I have 140 horses connected to my right leg :eek:
