Considering Qashqai
My wife has the 1.2 in her Renault kadjar and is pleased with the engines performance and economy. Although the economy not as good as advertised.
Also for me the panoramic roof is a must in my opinion

Sounds to me like the 1.2 petrol would be your best option.Yajas wrote:thanks a lot gvmdaddy and bullyboy. im struggling to decide between 1.2 l petrol and1.5 l diesel. i do a 2 mile commute and occational (4monthly) long drive. any suggessions which would be ideal for me.
I had an Audi A4 2.0 TDI a few years ago and because of all the short (4 mile) trips the wife does, we had problems with the DPF and turbo - not cheap repairs.
Unless our driving habits change I won't be going diesel again.

People really are worrying and fritening others over nothing with the regards to the dpf. Ok, older, much older diesels didnt have a dpf and they ran and ran and ran. Then the dpf was introduced to clean up emissions and a good number of low mileage diesels encountered problems in the form of blockages, either requiring cleaning or even replacement. The new QQ has a system in place that self cleans the dpf before any blockages occur, and it works well. Honestly, all this talk of dpf problems is in my mind just ill informed scaremongering. Im not saying no one may have a problem, but its not the major problem that some would suggest. If it was then there would be many tens of thousands diesel owners taking up issue with Nissan and waiting for replacements, as are a good number waiting for replacement aircon condensors.ChrisDK wrote:Sounds to me like the 1.2 petrol would be your best option.Yajas wrote:thanks a lot gvmdaddy and bullyboy. im struggling to decide between 1.2 l petrol and1.5 l diesel. i do a 2 mile commute and occational (4monthly) long drive. any suggessions which would be ideal for me.
