My new Qashqai
I was quite surprised at the wheels when I went to collect it. When it was ordered, they had not seen the then new N-Tec models, so I ordered on-spec without seeing the exact model. They are very nice and will be very easy to clean.First impressions are that it is very well built. Far more refined and comfortable, perhaps less sporty, then the Juke it replaces. Also already obviously more economical and pulls better from idle speed. With less than 200 miles on the clock it already registers an average of 55mpg on the clock, but I have no idea whether that is accurate as yet.Not quite sure about the driving position and first impression is that the clutch pedal has a longer travel than that of the older Juke. Interior design, fit and finish, equipment, controls and placement are great. Stereo seems to sound better than I was led to expect.All in all, very happy with it during the first few days.

Niceso its a sort of AP but with better wheels? as your missing the Tekna roof bars and wheelsLik eit but not sure if its camera angle but the rear privacy glass looks less tinted than the AP but I do think its better to look at than the AP with those wheels
That second image truly demonstrates how small the QQ is for an alleged large car. My wife's Mini Countryman is actually more practical and has more room in the back seats. The boot may be smaller on paper but the layout means we can fit our large pushchair into it without having to remove the pram's roll-bar, or remove the parcel shelf. The build quality is noticeably higher in the Mini as well, especially around the door seals. Though I still prefer the QQ to drive as it is more refined.Sorry if this is sacrilege around here but while I think the QQ is a great car, there are lots of areas I can see how Nissan knock one of these out every 60 seconds. It's a lovely looking, refined car and the cabin does have lots of quality materials and feel. It's not the quality of the materials, it's the build quality that let it down in many areas.
