I visited my local Nissan dealer this morning mainly to get the feel of the Qashqai, checking if I could get in and out without banging my head every time I did so. As the Qashqai is taller than my Corolla TS I asked how long I could have for the test drive as I wanted to check the Qashqai would go into my garage without too many problems.
I was quite surprised to hear the Motability salesman say I wasn’t allowed an unaccompanied test drive and that he would have to be with me at all times. Never had this before from any make or dealership. In fact when I changed to Toyota three years ago, the salesman there said get the feel of the car, take it for an hour or so and before the Toyota, Vauxhall even let me have a car for three days.
Not sure if the rules have changed or what other dealerships offer but this put me off a little as I wouldn’t change to a model I hadn’t had a decent test drive in.

By way of an update, I called in at my local Renault dealership today to check the new Austral out, generally checking how easy it was getting in and out. As everything seemed OK, I dropped the big question “do you do unaccompanied” test drives? Yes sir, no problem, how long would you like the car for? Completely different to my experience with the local Nissan dealership.
that’s great news how long are you having it for ?
Not sure yet, it still hasn’t hit me that it was so easy. Way different to my Nissan experience.
