My name is Dan, and I'm soon to become a new QQ owner, just as the most of you here.
I've been lurking the forum for quite a while, but finally decided to become a member. As a future QQ owner ... it only makes sense

I currently drive a Clio 3 limited edition, which overall is an amazing car to drive and own. However, after 10 years, time has come to move up to something more suitable for my age and current needs - hehe

But, after long consideration, and targeting cars from quite a wide range, I ended up chosing the MK2 QQ. Looking for a smooth, spacious family car, economical and comfortable to run I came up to the following top:
- Nissan Qashqai 2014, VW Tiguan 2016, Kia Carens, VW Touran 2015, Skoda Octavia Scout, Skoda Octavia VRS (yes ... a bit out of this pattern), Toyota Avensis, Toyota RAV4, Kia Sportage, Ford C-Max, Ford Mondeo 2016, Ford Kuga, Mazda CX-5, Mazda 6, Hyundai Tucson, Skoda Yeti ... and many other models, all in the same price range here where I live (Cz).
Making an evaluation based on 40% general/studied opinions and 60% personal feeling, the car that managed to fully capture my interest was (surprisingly) the new QQ. A car that doesn't say much on the outside, but inside it's just pure pleasure: decent materials used on a classic and simple design, excellent seats and driving stile, with decent trunk and rear seat space. Compare that with a very well thought engine range and price, and you can get a pretty good deal on your hands. My chosen Tekna model equipped with a 1.6 DIG-T engine was somewhere around 23.000 Euros, which is not that bad for this kind of car. Somewhat disappointed on the lack of flexibility to select your optionals, I'm overall happy with the given price - therefore went for the Tekna model (heated windshield & no panoramic roof).
Although scared a bit on the reliability side, mostly after reading this forum, I'm still looking for the delivery that is supposed to happen in 1 month.
I want to thank everyone here for the amount of information shared and the support given through this forum. It is invaluable and highly appreciated. Thanks to you, picking up my new car is now going to be a long and meticulous procedure, and not just a sign in / sign out time, based on real expectations and standards and not just dreams.
Thank you all!
Danko
