Volkswagen Golf Car Comparison

Considering the Nissan Qashqai enters the market with 5-doors and a 1.6 engine it looks value against the Volkswagen Golf. The Qashqai has a very different body style with its SUV looks and MPV versatility. It's also surprising how efficient the Nissan engine is in terms of performance, fuel consumption and emissions. It's pity ESP is not standard.
