Edel Coffey: Selling my Qashqai and saying goodbye to the baby era of motherhood

The Qashqai has served me well for these past years but it’s an old car now and as a family of six we were starting to outgrow it.

For the last eight years, I have driven a faithful seven-seater Nissan Qashqai. Also known as a mammy wagon. Also known as the uncoolest car in its class.

I’ve always been a car person. I love cars and am living under the happy delusion that one day I will drive my dream car, a classic Porsche Targa in metallic blue. 

But for the last eight years, I have driven a faithful seven-seater Nissan Qashqai. Also known as a mammy wagon. Also known as the uncoolest car in its class. But the seven-seater is a functional and reliable car.
