It's the same in our new Pulsar and that does not have a panoramic roof.

You didn't, we just bought a smaller QQ! Nothing wrong with the QQ other than its size for our daily driving.

Re: And it's goodbye from me.

Thanks Dave, and for all your input and useful information over the past two years. As a point of interest I just set up the Connect last night and connected the phone via the Nissan Connect App and to my surprise all my send to car destinations from the QQ are there on the Pulsar - How good is that...

And it's goodbye from me.

Today we say goodbye to our QQ after 2 years and take delivery of a Nissan Pulsar 1.5 dCi Tekna in Bronze. It has been a hard decision as we have been happy with the QQ but as we have now entered our 7th decade we do find it a bit too large around the narrow Somerset lanes and do not need all the sp...

Re: Stop/Start system

As above, this is quite normal. Stop start generates more queries than anything else and is often not fully understood by owners (including me). I had this explained very well when I took delivery of an Audi a few years ago and have tried to remember this ever since. The parameters will vary from on...

Car was taken back to dealer and new battery fitted under warranty. Th new battery is a different make and no further pro...

Re: Digital speedo

There is a difference between the two, about 1 or 2 mph. However my digital speedo moves with change of vehicle speed. My hunch is that the digital is the more accurate one.

Re: Delivery damage

I doubt you can reject it having taken delivery before giving them the opportunity to get it repaired. The good news is that this dent looks as if it can be removed by a paintless dent removal expert. I have had two dents removed and it's amazing what these guys can do. I can't tell where mine were ...

Re: Qoros SUV from China

Is it me or does this look a bit like the KIA Sportage?
