Re: Change from 19" to 17" wheels
Good idea! We went for the Ascenta partly because it comes with "only" 17 inch wheels. We have a horse and the farm where he is kept is accessed via a pot holed lane with crumbling edges. Low profile tyres not only give a worse ride but are very susceptible to sidewall damage which gets ex...

Just got our QQ and the wife had problems and said the HSA didnt come in and she rolled backwards! I tried it and it works fine but doesnt really give you much room for error it comes off pretty quickly!

Re: What Engine, am I making the right choice?
Well our new QQ is sitting on the drive, I went for the 1.5Dci and will post my thoughts once I've actually driven it! I based my choice on various reviews which all thought the 1.5 was the best overall, time will tell.

QQ on 1st September
Well its arriving on Saturday, but cant use it till next week. Having recently got a puppy (Australian Kelpie ) it was apparent that we are not going to get much use out of our MX5 (and we have an Audi TT and Merc SLK anyway!) so the MX5 is being traded for a QQ. We decided on the Ascenta trim as th...
