Well, just purchased my very first qq n-tec, it's a stunner :)
Also, got it at a really good price, cheapest by quite a bit.
I went for the n-tec model as this was in my budget.
Got to say I did have reservations about the wheel size re- comfort but was pleasantly surprised by the 18" tyres.
The car I went for was a 2015 and 65reg with 10656 on the clock and paid £15299 so I am well pleased by that.
Ok, no mats but no big deal.
Drove it up the road from Newcastle which was effortless (150mls) a pure joy to drive.
Anyway, one thing I was disappointed in was the mpg's (drove sensibly) which read 56mpg, really thought I would be in the mid 60's at least.
Previous cars were golf blue motion and megane estate both would have recorded 65ish on this journey.

All said and done I love my new 2nd hand motor.

Cheers

Welcome aboard; your mpg doesn't mean much unless you add your model details in your signature area :)

Sorry, how do I find the signature area to put details in, I'm not very clever with these things.

Thanks for any help.

My car is Qashqai 1.5 diesel n-tec 2015

You say 150 miles....what sort of roads? average speed? how much uphill or downhill? External temps? How long did it take you?
All these things add up as youll find out over the coming months. The external ambient temp is one of the main factors as well as being extremely light footed. Driven sensibly in the correct variables, I would expect between 60 and the mid 70'smpg. Any form of incline will quickly eat into any good work you have put in to driving economically.

Thanks for your reply gvmdaddy.
Newcastle to Falkirk was the journey, ave temp 15, ave roads some motorway, some a class, little braking involved, ave incline, decline on roads etc.
I am basing these figures on what I have done previous on my megane estate and golf.
These 2 cars produced much better mpg than my QQ on similar conditions.
Love the car.................

I'd be happy to get a 56mpg average in my 1.6 auto :)
