Nissan Qashqai 1.6 Dig-T Mini Review

There are pros and cons to both cars. Take both out for a drive and do the sums yourself and then make a decision; the heart is always better at buying a car than your head for me. You can go on forever at looking at the pros and cons. They are identical in performance but the BMW is more efficient ...

Nissan Qashqai 1.6 Dig-T Mini Review

The Qashqai we had never missed a beat and with 46k miles and 4.5 years old we got about 40% back so very very impressed on that front. The issue I have with the BMW 2AT as its called on forums is I don't get to drive it. With the QQ she would want me to drive all the time, with the 2AT I rarely get...

Nissan Qashqai 1.6 Dig-T Mini Review

So a while ago we had a drive of the 1.2 Dig-T and the 1.5 Dci and decided that we wanted to wait for the new 1.6 Dig-T to arrive. So a couple of weeks ago we went and took one for a test drive, but with a twist. We took with us a BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, a 218i with the all new 1.5 Turbo engine ...

Boot Grab Handle

At least the new one the boot opens higher which I'm looking forward to. No longer will the corner of the boot try to take my eye / ear / forehead from by body as I approach it when out shopping with my wife. I've got a powered boot on my car and its fantastic, really wouldn't want to be without it ...

Anyone ordered a 1.6 Dig-T yet?

Well no news as yet. Nissan dealer 1 didn't return call after a visit. Nissan dealer 2 did return call but to say the dealer is changing hands; we will call you back. Then they called again saying the transfer of the dealer has been delayed. As of today we want to spend £20k+ on a new Nissan and bot...

Anyone ordered a 1.6 Dig-T yet?

We are about to order a new 1.6 Dig-T next week and I wondered if anyone else has ordered one and got any delivery estimate for it. We test drove the 1.2 and it was nice but in a few situations it just didn't have enough poke for what isn't a small car. It will do a few motorway miles as well and wh...

Engine Oil Usage

I'm fascinated to read that a car should 'use oil' as all I know is that is drivel. Older engines used to but modern tolerances in engines mean that shouldn't be the case anymore. VAG engines seem to be particularly prone to it for some reason but again I've had a few Audis in the past and one did u...

QQ tekna with no panoramic

I think the point is being missed and I think you need to review your order and what you want to do. You ordered a car at a time when the car came with a panoramic roof a Tekna. It seems if you order a Tekna today without Panoramic the actually call it a Tekna Non-Panoramic in essence a different mo...

QQ tekna with no panoramic

I'm on another car forum and have seen two similar issues but with Audi. One it didn't come with the correct ISOfix installed in the car, it was rejected and they allowed him to keep the car until the next one came. Then the replacement didn't come with something he had spec'ed and guess what when h...
