Well picked her up yesterday and spent the day tootling about. 100 miles later I'm totally impressed with this 1.6T, just a shame I didn't get one 2 yrs ago. Will be keeping this one at least a year then I'll see what deals I can get on the facelift.
Goodbye 1.2 you served me well :cry:

I have no idea how the auto drives but I found with manual 1.2 you had to work the gears. For the last 2 yrs my 1.2 was all I needed but you can definitely feel the power difference in the 1.6, joining motorways, overtaking just a breeze now. Can now compete in the traffic light drag race :D which I don't condone ;)
Looking at getting it chipped next month so will have even more power.

Glad your enjoying it. I think the 1.6 is a decent enough engine. Has a good turn of speed. My wife has the 1.2 in her kadjar it's decent enough but the 1.6 gives you just that bit more.
All the best

The only issues I had with mine were... drivers heated seat, new discs and pads, new battery (stop/start can kill em), something on rear axle, replacement washer jet, new key fob battery. All work done under warranty with my dealer so cannot complain at all. Hence why I went back to same dealer for the new QQ :)

Cheers, yes I am definitely enjoying it and she zips along nicely. But! seeing as it's the same lump in the 190 and 218 Jukes it has to have room for improvement before any mechanical/component changes are necessary. Only problem I now have is to control my lead foot :D
