Hi guys,
I took a used 1.6 QQ for a test-drive last week and loved it, so I think it's the car for me.
I do around 25,000 miles per year - half are motorway cruising and half around town.
My budget is probably £11k (i'd love to stretch myself to £13/£14k to consider the newer style QQ but don't think it's sensible, money-wise).
I want the sunroof, so ideally Tekna, but N-tec or 360 otherwise...
Would you say the 1.6 Diesel sounds the best fit?
Thanks in advance.
Which QQ
I think any of the deisels would be better than petrol as your milage is high, just as long as you dont need to venture into the new city zones that are going to cost a packet to enter.
The latter won't be relevant, so I think it sounds like Diesel is best.Daewar wrote:I think any of the deisels would be better than petrol as your milage is high, just as long as you dont need to venture into the new city zones that are going to cost a packet to enter.
Do we think the prices of the 14 and onwards model are about to drop with news of the new 18 style QQ?

I don't, no.gvmdaddy wrote:Unless you regularly tow a heavy load
It's quite a bit slower though, no? I've read the 1.5 feels a bit gutless ?gvmdaddy wrote:then go for the 1.5dci. Its quieter, more refined, more economical and cheaper to buy.

oligopoly, certainly not gutless at all. It is a very capable car. Its not a sports car, neither is it a workhorse, it is a really good family car.
The links you posted are for the older J10 QQ and based on those prices you'll probably have to wait between 1 and 2 years to get a high spec J11for around the same.

have you thought about getting a brand new one on PCH? personnaly, I'd be very wary of buying a 4 year old car and expecting it to run well at that sort of mileage you're looking at. Think previous owner - low mileage could equal dpf problems, for example
