According to Nissan, in the UK you’re never more than 500 metres away from a Nissan Qashqai. The company kindly lent me their pristine 2008 heritage fleet model and, as you do, when you’re in a certain type of car you notice other ones on the road. Suddenly, I was hyper-aware of the Qashqai’s ubiquity, and, when I parked the very sprightly Mark 1 version in an airport car park, it was not 500 metres before I passed another, a slightly down-at-heel scuffed example but obviously still rated reliable enough for an airport run.
