just going to order a Qashqai but want advice

My 1.6 dci auto is the quietest diesel I have ever driven and I would say quieter then many large petrol engines. I have had problems with the CVT but it would appear that Nissan have resolved these issues on more recently produced cars.

Continental Tyres

Swapped mine at first service 13k miles (1 year) now at 17.5k miles and all tyres look evenly worn, I am expecting that they will just about reach 20k and perhaps a bit more

Hope this helps

Chrome Mirrors but without the original covers

I had chrome mirrors fitted to my previous QQ (after initial purchase/ delivery). I also requested the orriginals to be returned. They were returned but had the lugs broken off (fairly useless) they stayed in my garage until I PXd the car and have now gone to the skip! My understanding is that it is...
