qashqai ride quality

Again I have the Ntec+ with 18" alloys and day to day I find the ride quality fantastic, especially in the corners if your giving it the beans on the twisties. it's quite a bizarre feeling as you can feel the car adjusting the pitch and roll, not natural for a car with such a high centre of gra...

Road Tax Ahead

Shame about the car tax situation, but on the plus (and overly optimistic) side according to the BBC's budget calculator I should be £160 a year better off with the new changes so still quids in! ......apparently. See the link below;http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17442946

Mini Detail

Good Job! never really used the Gtechniq products before other than using some of the cutting compound for polishing a few years back and gave good results. I like the look of the C2 polish, may have to give this a try! I've just been using Autoglym super resin polish on my Ink Blue QQ and gives qui...

First wash for nissi

I've been thinking of trying a glass sealant kit, should last a good few months and gives the same effect as Rain-x, bit on the steep side but should save time in the future after application. http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog ... cat16.html

Is she a looker

[quote="Hound I've seen a couple of articles that likened the interior of the QQ with its panoramic roof to the Evoque! Hmmm...I wonder if I put new badges on the QQ it would fool the neighbours... [/QUOTE] You might struggle with that one! but from what I've seen the interior quality in the Ev...

Is she a looker

I think the ix35 is as depressing as it gets in my opinion, I took the Sportage for a test drive and was pleasantly surprised how nice it was but it felt more 'chunky' than was necessary and the QQ had more to offer for the money plus better resale value plus the right amount of 'chunkyness'. The tw...

I've joined the smashkey club

This is a very interesting point, I have the 1.5dci (manual) and since I have owned it I have noticed that I have had to change my driving style to compensate for hills and such. I'm not saying the power output isn't sufficient, it is more than adequate and is quite a torquey little unit but the gea...

Connect- After Free 2 years

I think if they were able to utilise some music streaming apps like Spotify or Deezer it would be fairly decent and I think people would probably use it more. I know you can play Spotify and the likes via Bluetooth but I mean incorporate the interface into it.

Connect- After Free 2 years

Agree with you all, a lot of the app features are nothing more than a novelty I've found, just something to tell your mates that you can update your facebook/twitter status from the car but in reality you never would as the UI is terrible and its much easier to use your smart phone for such things. ...
