Re: Nissan Mapcare - Dealer doesn’t have a clue

Hi, Can anyone tell me the latest map update version? I have 2017 Qashqai. I booked into a dealer for next Tuesday to be upgraded but I heard the service guy mention version 3 in relation to another car he had just upgraded. I suppose he could have meant he replaced a version 3 with the latest versi...

Re: X-tronic

Well I had a test drive in the Xtronic at the weekend and I loved it, so I will order one tomorrow. I am going to wait for a 17 plate as by the time it comes into stock it will be getting on for the new reg. anyway.

Thanks everyone for helping me to come to my decision.

Re: X-tronic

What is the manual shift mode? Can I just ignore it or are there times when you need to shift from Auto to manual?

X-tronic

I currently have a 1.2 Tekna manual but I am thinking of getting the same but the X-tronic in March next year. I have never driven an Auto and I will of course have a test drive first but I probably can't organise one until a couple of weeks time. Using the search I see that a lot of people did have...

Stop Start in slow moving traffic

On Friday I was driving through Worcester and a road was closed due to an accident. This caused a traffic snarl up as everyone was forced into the city centre. The QQ's stop start technology kicked in, but I didn't feel I was stopped long enough for it to be useful I.e. I stopped, put car in neutral...

Welcome Effect

I've had my new QQ for a few days now. What does the 'Welcome Effect' setting do? I've not noticed a difference whether I turn it on or off. I've read the manual, but just can't spot the deifference.

Re: FAQ: Spare Wheel / Space Saver

Thanks I ordered the car without the space saver but will probably get one from glynhopkins or some other place at a later date. I agree I don't want to use the gunk at all and would call out the RAC.

No the dealers came no where near. I got a saving of £5,369 so worth buying on line and the car gets delivered by transporter.
