this is pretty much what we get all the time,on a good run it can go up to about 46m.p.g. In Eco mode.
Not amazing,but is way better than the 23m.p.g. we got from our previous motor.
As for the drive it is quite a big car being pushed by a 1.2 engine but once you get over the fact that it isn't a 2 litre car,it gets up and goes very well and you will be more than happy with the performance,with the turbo it has just as good if not better performance than the old 1.6 litre non turbo petrol engine it replaced.
Oh thats pretty good. We currently have a car that is at this moment around 18 mpg which is a quite different between 40 mpg and 18. On the economy side. I think I need to try the turbo. Do you like feel "pushed" back when you stomp full gas?

Thank you pal! I will check them out. They are more expensive in Nissan sale than a car seller. I dont know whats the difference but yeah. Shouldnt be any!
Gel, you have picked a Car the "Trabant" that was very popular during the time the Berlin Wall was erected because of the East Berlin (DDR) conflict with the West and they are still around and very popular. You should have recommended a Racing Version for Thrillofit's Dad he would most probably enjoy that.
Gel, now if you have some time pop over to Berlin as you can hire one for 4 hours @ €180 but it is not a nice drive though. - Dave
At least with a Trabby you know what you're going to get. I believe I brought the wrong car at the wrong time, one counter argument is allmodern cars have been scrimped on with cost and quality, but coupling that with the appearance that the QQ has been rushed into the market has resulted in its obviously poor standing in reliability surveys.

Correct me if i'm wrong but you are saying that I shouldn't buy the QQ?

Ultimately It's your decision or influence and there are good and bad cars (lemons) from all manufacturers, but personally speaking I can't recommend the QQ- there are too many things that could be better and mine hasn't been as reliable as I perceive a Japanese car should be.
But based on what you wrote in your first post, how's about considering a Leaf...?

Ohh. Now im quite surprised that I got this. I check the Leaf and it wasn't something I was looking for. I'm now looking into Honda CR-V 2015. Looks pretty similar to QQ
