Re: Final rant!

I can understand your anger.
However also have a 1.6d Tekna 4wd. My car has had absolutely no problems in 15 months,.
Which leads me to a question, if it was so bad why on earth did you not reject the car?

New engine?

It is not a reason for avoiding Diesels as many petrol engines are also cam belt driven.If you choose the 1.6 Renault/Nissan Diesel as fitted to the current QQ this is chain driven just like your 1.2 petrol engine.Depending on how many miles you do and if you want Auto or need a 4X4 (as I did) it ma...

Comments on 1.6 dci engine

If you spent 3 winter months in Southern Germany you would also be quite happy to pay £110 tax for 4wd plus the cost winter tyres. You could of course argue that winter tyres might just be enough but with both you have the best solution to traction and braking. The Qashqai performs well on both snow...

There is also a big cost saving in future years the 1.5 w...

I have ordered a Tekna 4wd and until I read this thread I presumed that it had voice control for calls and texts.My wife's 3 year old Ford C-Max has voice control over climate control, CD or USB tracks, radio etc. We very rarely use any nob on the rather confusing dashboard.I find the ability to dia...
