Hi, I am in search of a compact family car. I wanted to now the reliability or best pick between the Nissan Qashqai, Nissan Juke and Peugeot 3008. Also, which holds its resale value best?

Hi Elizabeth,

The short answer is the Qashqai. Both the Nissans will be more reliable than the Peugeot (certainly according to the respective JD Power ratings of those brands) even if Peugeot's quality and reliability levels have dramatically improved in recent years. The Juke is a smaller, niche-ier vehicle than the Qashqai, which has been ragingly popular since it was launched, and lives smack in the middle of the ever-popular family car market, so it's the bigger Nissan that will hold its value the best.
