What made you buy a QQ?

[Bros]

Hello all,
I wonder what swayed you to choose a QQ over others!

Here is what me decide on the QQ.
1. MPG
2. Reviews on what car etc
3. Decent ground clearance for tracks I go fishing too
4. A higher ride than my previous cars/easier to get in and out of
5. Gadgets, e.g. I just love the 360 all round view
6. Nice finish inside (soft plastics)
7. Looks
8. Very comfortable ride indeed
9. Best IMO for my budget compared to others
This list is not in any order.

I did look at Kia Sportage, Hyundai i35, Suzuki Vitara.
Don't get me wrong all good cars but IMO not as good as the QQ for one reason or another, either mpg, cheap feeling interior, not as good value for money. Of course this is only my opinion which may differ greatly from others.

Gripes:
Poor buying experience (was not told it was a hire car)
Using a small amount of oil.

I have completed 5000mls now.

All the best,
What's your thoughts?

High in the sky seating feel
Looks
Colour
Heated front screen
LED headlights
All the toys and the glass roof
Really really comfortable seats
Quietness and smoothness
Very good economy (just done another longish trip today and had 67.7 mpg on the trip meter, even bearing in mind the eternal optimism of these devices I reckon that's still a true 60mpg or thereabouts)

Rear vision is bolleaux.
That's about it really.

Have done 500 miles in the last week since I bought it.

Dealer experience so far has been very good (Marshall Nissan Lincoln).

Tried the Kia Sportage which I was very tempted with the seven year warranty, tried Volvo X70, not as much bang for buck and BMW X3, just too much money. Son has an i35 which is very nice as well but there was just something about the QQ, don't know what.

Sold on quality , but not what I expected.

Same as the others really.......................rear vision? That's what the cameras and mirrors are for. I was most impressed in the way it drove, comfortable but still great handling. Coming from Mazda's, I tried the CX5 and desperately wanted to like it despite it being not as good looking as the Qashqai but I was completely underwhelmed by how it drove and what I thought was poor handing. The journalists love it but to me it had way too much understeer and you sat on top of it rather than in it. It was better built though.................
