I have the n connecta in manual with head up display in the Pearl white colour.

Having picked it up in November I wish I’d kept the old shape.

Anyone else feeling they made a mistake?

Sorry to hear you're not happy. I'm really happy with mine. No issues at all and the J12 is a vast improvement in all areas over the J11.

I can honestly say I love mine, I've had an issue with the pro pilot. But that's now hopefully fixed.

But even with that issue I love the car. It's the first 4 wheel drive and the first automatic I have had, and I just love it.

On the whole I’m happy with my premiere edition just a couple of things I have noticed. The clutch pedal doesn’t fully return to the rest position until it’s been driven for a good few miles - filler door is poorly fitted doesn’t sit flush plus under the bonnet at the strut top there’s a small amount of metal deposits that have turned to rust doesn’t look much but still shouldn’t be there - taken pictures so hopefully the dealer will sort it all out along with the small ding on the door

Overall very satisfied after 1 month and 700 km. Nice riding, not too thirsty (the thing I was more concerned).
Quality of body assembly is not wow! ( I’ll show you what I mean in a future post)
I come from Peugeot 5008 diesel, the van version, which was good, and the logical choice would have been 3008, which I like, but there are some many here in Italy that I wanted something new.
So the main reason I chose QQ was for the design: new, modern, classy (the other one I've considered was XC40 to give an idea). I would have never bought the J11, so, to me, they hit the spot with the design. I don’t think it will sell much here because of the lack of a diesel version, which I also had preferred.

Sure.
I have driven my J12 Tekna+ for 9 weeks and 1200 miles.
It has proven to offer everything I hoped it would.
The TomTom navigation and Waze with Wireless (!) Android Auto (thru the "AAWireless" - indiegogo dongle) as well as Wireless Carplay.
Wireless Android Auto with my Samsung S22 Ultra, Wireless Carplay tested with my son's iPhone 11 Pro.
The QQ 15W Wireless Charging Pad works flawlessly with both of the above mentioned smartphones too.
The 156 BHP engine / 6 MT version is swift and powerful yet the economy is more than acceptable.
(but make no mistake, this is no Toyota -true- Hybrid ... don't expect that kind of mileage)
Already got enough attention from people asking what ... car this is !?
People do seem to like how my Magnetic Blue QQ looks (same as I do!).
Personally I don't think anyone can go wrong with the new Qashqai ... it sure has the looks and I couldn't resist ...
Good Luck with yours.

Same as above, no complaints on my J12. Works perfectly, done almost 5000km with it in about 5 months.

Albeit not my J12 QQ,
I recently had a J12 Acenta plus as a courtesy car whilst mine was in for warranty work.

Ok, not the top spec car but not a bad car as a courtesy car.
Over all not a bad car. Plenty of grunt for those who need it, ride was relatively smooth for the class of car, unfortunately I found the cabin a wee bit cramped compared with my J11, the centre console seemed wider than the J11, Left leg was not as comfortable as in my car, plus the leather knee pad was not there, but I believe that premium models have one.
I found the gear stick too far forward compared to the J11, it didn't fall to hand as good. Also, and this is on the car I had, the gear stick didn't self centre, 1st to 2nd and 5th to 6th stayed were they were, and didn't go to 3rd to 4th if you can understand that? But again, this was the car that I was given, I'm guessing that this was a niggle to this car.
I liked the blind spot warning light in the wing mirror, oh and talking of mirrors, the rear view mirror reminded me of a mirror from a 1980's Ford Fiesta. I'm assuming that the higher spec cars come with auto dim function? During my time with the car, mixture of Sport, Normal and Eco I only managed 28mpg?
On the whole not a bad QQ but I do prefer the J11 over the J12.

I just feel like the J11 was much more pleasing to drive. I had it 4 years and never once wanted to get rid, it was such a lovely car. Whereas I have found that after 4 months of having this one I am waiting to when I can trade it in.

The display often cuts out and restarts, I hate the cruise control as it constantly brakes when someone moves in to my lane which affects the MPG. The fuel is so so poor and only wish I’d stuck to a diesel car now.

The head up display makes me feel funny when driving because it’s a constant glare and driving in eco to save fuel makes it extremely sluggish.

I wish I hadn’t jumped in to purchasing it and either kept my old one or looked at other options.
