Well its arriving on Saturday, but cant use it till next week.

Having recently got a puppy (Australian Kelpie ) it was apparent that we are not going to get much use out of our MX5 (and we have an Audi TT and Merc SLK anyway!) so the MX5 is being traded for a QQ. We decided on the Ascenta trim as this is adequate for us but went for the 1.5Dci which appears to be the favoured engine. We wanted 17" wheels as the lane we have to go down for the stables is pot holed and isn't kind to low profile tyres! Colour wise the only one available is silver, and whilst bland at least it is fairly easy to keep clean!

We have a 54 plate X trail Dci with just 67k miles which is currently on autotrader but no takers as yet, and jeep Grand Cherokee which is used as a tow car for our horse trailer.

My only concern with the QQ is reliability but from what I can gather the higher up you go in the model range the more issues seem to arise, have seen a fair bit about keyless entry system and also the stop/start which will be turned off all the time for us! Anyone like to comment on reliability?

Reasons for choosing the QQ:
- High ground clearance and high profile tyres suitable for the roads we have to use
- Economical diesel engine
- zero RFL
- Comfortable and nice riding car (not driven one yet!)
- Plenty of space and convenient for the dog!

Add 3 year warranty and 2years free servicing whats not to like?

Oh heres the puppy:
