    been saving for a new car and the Qashqai dci is the one im thinking of buying. But, anytime I see them on the road they are being driven by women, usually with kids in the back.
    Dont get me wrong, I love women and think their better drivers than most men, its just that, Im a bloke with no kids and would prefer not to be driving around in a feminine type car.
    Any thoughts? would it put you off?

    It's a soccermom car! One of my buddies drives one as a company car and we give him an awful slagging about it.

    Woman's. Know a fella driving one as well and he gets and awful doing. If you have no kids i'm sure there are alot more you could do with that money car wise.

    It's more family than feminine, if you ask me. That said, if you've the kind of friends who'd slag you about driving a womans car then you really need either new friends or a 318Ci.

    I disagree, theyre a lovely drive and i dont think theyre womenly at all.
    Anybody who gives you stick about it is jealous.

    Don't you think you might be stretching things just a little bit there?

    Now it's just childish, there's a difference between a woman's car and a gay persons car.:P

    I'd say it does have a touch of the XC90 attached to it alright :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Holsten


    No, not at all.

    I think they're every nice.

    Would you buy one?:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,819 ✭✭✭✭peasant

    If it had a bigger boot I might consider it, sure

    I don't particularly like pseudo-offroaders, but the Cashcow seems to be a pretty decent effort.

    Expect your street credibility to be deminished beyond recovery.

    they are in the same category as the new micra, daihatsu copen and the new beetle.

    Mr T. would be soooooo disappointed.

    Get a hilux intimidator if your afraid of looking like a pansy
    Get some nuts!!!!! Grrrrrrrrr!!:mad:


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,819 ✭✭✭✭peasant


    The thing is ...I couldn't care less about my "street cred".

    I buy cars solely for my self (and whatever tasks I may need it for)

    after spending nearly 30k? if your buddies at work said hey peasant, ur a great bloke but your ''pseudo-off-roader'' looks a bit gay, effeminite, girly, youd be ok about it??


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,819 ✭✭✭✭peasant


    sure

    let them ...The slagging I got over my current car has just about worn off after almost two years now ...so what?



    I likes it :D

    This is the only country where people scoff "It's a girls car" at anything which isn't a corolla, or a volvo, or a golf. In the UK, men drive Qashqui's, MINIs, Fiat 500s and no one neither cares, nor comments. Same on the continent.

    Fully agree with Peasant here, if you like it, buy it, and screw what anyone else says. They're probably driving a boring heap of junk that's as bland as Mrs Doyle, and is used from A to B, and probably have zero enthusiasm for cars as anything above a mode of transport anyway.

    get the 2 litre, chip it and do this to it....

    Ah now Mini's are a different kettle of fish, lets not bring them into this. :D
