Hi everyone,

Thought I'd join having researched the QQ here before deciding on one as my next company lease car.

Delivery now scheduled for Friday 26th May so getting seriously impatient - Ink Blue, N-Connecta 1.6dCi 4WD with panoramic roof and heated seats/windscreen.

Test drove the 1.5 dCi and found it lacking on power coming from a 2.0D Toyota Avensis so went for the 1.6 DCi and added 4WD

Regards

Simon

Bronze ?
A bit "marmite", the memsahib thought it was great but I wouldn't be seen dead in it !!
Gun metal grey is the best colour. ;)

I don't think I've ever seen a bronze QQ other than one parked at the dealer's. Same with nightshade.

My first choice was white but Mrs Hound talked me out of it because it would need washing all the time. So I went for gunmetal because a) it looks classy and b) it doesn't show the dirt much! Ink blue is very attractive though, especially when waxed and on a sunny day. Enjoy yours!

Thanks for all the messages !

Ruled out Gunmetal as my current Avensis is a similar Grey, and the previous vehicle I had was White (never again as always having to wash it as mentioned by Mrs Hound),

Thought bronze was ok and definitely not many on the road but Ink Blue won in the end.

1 day less to wait and then all the toys to play with......

Only a couple of days or so left to wait, getting a little impatient now !

Particularly want to see if I can get the voice recognition to work with my Motorola Android phone after reading some of the other threads here. I have Google Now Launcher installed on my phone but can't see how pressing the steering wheel button will unlock the phone and allow me to use "Ok Google" as I have a pin number as security.

Hopefully all will become clear on Friday :-)

No idea about "OK Google" but that's how "Siri" works.

Thanks MikeGC, I'm sure it will work, else I'll just have to get an iPhone :-)
