Just thought I'd say hi again. Got myself another QQ coming in March, I'm sticking with the Tekna but this time a 1.6T and in Black. Wasn't looking to upgrade or trade it in but the dealer has been pestering me since Sept and seeing as they've given me another cracking deal and I still love my current car. I thought why not :) Probably wont have any valuable input with anything technical but I know how to stick on mirror trims :D

Anyway will be good to see how this forum has progressed since my internet hiatus. Ok, now time to browse the posts and see what's been happening.

Cheers.

Do enjoy; comparisons with your current QQ will be interesting.

vyper1, well it looks like you were one of the happy ones with your Tekna and a nice choice for the second one - Enjoy it Dave ;)
Do not forget to post a pic of the new one.

Hi, Yes it will be good to see if there actually any differences between the 2017 and the current. Maybe they have made some refinements but I doubt it.

They did try and sell me the limited black edition but I'm apparently one of those weird minority drivers that doesn't like diesel :D Yes I've had a few issues with my current QQ but nothing that warrants me not wanting another. I've had a dead battery due to the stop/start and smart charging but to me that's a common fault amongst all manufacturers. I've had a dodgy heated seat that was cooler on the high setting. New front discs and a new washer jet. All done under warranty so not an issue for me.

One thing I didn't check was if the new QQ's have a more powerful horn, as for last 2yrs I try and not sound it :oops:

Well I have just over 6 weeks to wait so will update pics as soon as it arrives.

Similar case. I'm changing my 1.2 Dig-T Tekna for the same again but an Xtronic in Magnetic Red. Delivery on 1st March.

Never been one for auto but with all the jams I could be persuaded. I do like the red but strangely only on other people's :?

well I must admit the 1.2 has been sufficient it only lacks mid range so you have to work the gears. So looking forward to some extra torque, might look into getting it chipped too ;)
