Well this is my little work car for the next 4 years. It's a very nice cockpit and feels good on the road (Although the 2.0lt petrol with CVT isn't as smooth or as punchy as the Subaru Forester I had).

So far I am really liking this car. My only real gripe is the Nissan Connect system and app are pretty useless. I have songs downloaded on my iPhone 6 + with the Nissan Connect app loaded and connected on the phone, and for whatever reason, I can see all the songs listed on the screen but I just can't get them to play!!!??? Ah well, I will just stick to Bluetooth and stream music that way.

Anyway, I have to say, I really love the white on the Qashqai, and the dark tinted windows, big chrome wheels, and dark tinted weather shields and bonnet protector, sure make this car look sharp and stand out from the crowd.

Adam, welcome where are you based in the US or elsewhere just a question regarding the 2,0L Motor. Do you have any photos of your QQ for interest the Chromed Wheels. If you use “Search” you will find lots of comments on the Nissan Connect System - Dave :)

I notice you have Dunlop tyres on it, but what model and size? Yours appear to protrude a lot more than the ones we can get over in the U.K. and will give you better rim protection.

Hey gvmdaddy,
They are a P225/45 R19 All Season Tyre on 19"x 7.0" Nissan Diamond-cut alloy rims.
I have to say that these big 19" rims look pretty slick on this size vehicle.

Adam, thanks for the photos the QQ is looking nice we have the earlier J11A Tekna Model with the Extras in Pearlescent White.
Regarding the question from gvmdaddy when I first looked at your Pics the Tyre question just seemed to stand out. Luckily after nearly 4 years our Alloy’s are still A1 but parking has to be done carefully due to scuffing. Our Alloys are virtually Flush with the Tyres where as yours give the appearance that they are under inflated and have the Tyres overlapping the Alloys which naturally protects the Rims. We have Dunlop Sport Max Tyres on our German QQ 225/45 R19 96W, but yours are the “P” type is this the reason for the overlap or are they just an “Oversized” Tyre or similar to the SP Sport attached - Dave :D

Hi, re the use of nissan connect and your iPhone. Here in the UK the iPhone only works via the usb cable and then not all the functionality. See other thread on voice activation... The Nissan connect app has always been criticised and is a pile of pants. I’ve changed my password about four times and it still says wrong credentials, or something like that. Welcome to the club. Well done Riciado. Sorry went off topic for a bit.
Second QQ J11b 1.5 Tekna in Magnetic Red.

You can stream music via Bluetooth with an iPhone but to use the apps on the Connect unit the phone must be attached via cable to us port under the armrest.

I know this is slightly off topic, but when we had our QQ Tekna, I had Continental contisport 5 fitted, whe I had new tyres fitted I had Michelin pilot sport 4 because they had a load of rim protection, I mean like 10mm past the face of the alloy! Would recommend them to anyone!

Hi Adam, you mentioned on your first post “Big Chrome Wheels”, I think in fact they are as here and are called as the Nissan Std Wheels “Diamond Cut Alloys”.
The concern as you have already read is the “Scuffing” and then the repair which is a “Specialist” Machining Job, is expensive and limited, but it looks like you will not have that problem. :lol:
For your interest please see a couple of attachments - Dave :)
