U going to manufacture the pillar yourself?Customize a piller to house a 3 inch mid range speaker and tweeter.....
Collected my qq 2L last week, happy with the car except the FC due to many short trips. Not too bother though, will just enjoy the drive.

Getting an extra set of pillar
From there ..... Work on
Fiber glass , wooden mount.... Leather wrap ...... Etc
It smoother up acclecration and the roll is moreHi, does anyone know if k&n filter does any good to our Qashqai 1.2? What are the pros and cons of changing? Does it improve Low end torque at all?
Meaning the car roll further when the foot is off the accelerator ..
Hi Haronkr,Sometimes the inner demons will want to come out haha...
Need racechip ultimate to turn the 1.2L QQ into a beast.
Still think it is simply 1.2L engine with 165Nm torque and 114bhp that dun have the oomph to cut in confidently unlike me driving the 2.4L hippo estima.

Indeed K&N filter makes your rider arguably lighter but pls dun expect day and nite different. Only ethrottle and piggyback like racechip ultimate gave significant difference on performance in addition to some others like strut bar, lowered spring, BBK etc.
However, there are also those who never want to use K&F filter cos it is oil based especially when you clean it yourself after 50k miles as recommended. I am using it also but my estima had its airflow sensor clogged cos local periodic service dun clean airflow sensor like in usa or europe.
You will find engine shuttering and loss in power and probably high FC if airflow sensor is clogged like in my experience but that was after 200k km and hence I am still using albeit taking care no excessive reoiling after cleaned.
Cheers.

Hi Meemee,I also not on ulitmate ....
But yet I feel I have the oomph .....
:)
Perhaps my expectation then cos estima is 2.4L or 2X the capacity and its 1.9ton may not be obvious after initial pick up at 60-70km/hr.
However at 90km/hr upwards, 1.2L QQ certainly need to keep throttle open while 2.4L estima just cruises along with minimal intervention of the ethrottle. At these speeds, any needed acceleration is also for sure more brisk with the 2.4L estima.
Hence, I would love the ultimate if not my CO's warning not to violate warranty too obviously :(
Cheers.

1) What is a good paint protection to take up?
2) Where can I go to get some sound insulation done on the doors?
Thank you.

Yes the oil coupled with dirt becomes sticky residue. In my old ride the throttle body became a "sticky" issue.Hi Janjen,

Meemee and all expert out there,may l ask what about the front if l were to put this at the rear? Considering using Hertz for my front and left the rear untouch with the Pioneer subwoofer. I'm not that particular but just want something better than stock.This 6.5 inch sub look good -----to place at the rear doors
Hence - distortions .....
If you want to drive good speaker , I suggest maybe consider changing a head unit first ......
Cause stock not enough power to drive after market speaker.
Sorry ----- Meemee stop doing the door insulation works....1) I have good PPS experience with Optishine (read previous posts on this).
2) Go to MeeMee if you are keen on insulation work.
Maybe for a time being.....

Ok. Tks.You may need lots of sound damping material for the sub at the door, else lot of metal vibration will generated .

Hi dash1234,
Oh no, meemee is showing superior replacement for your pioneer subwoofer cos rear door has the required bigger volume for low bass.
You simply need to get some better 2 way speakers if you.want to improve the sound but as meemee mentioned, better headunit will make more significant difference and stock system + speake4s is quite ok and you hqve to spent quite a lot to upgrade significantly.
Cheers.

Also younger gen grow up on ipod mp3 and not into high fidelity.

Is the 'power cut' that happens when turning for the 1.2 fixed? If so, what was the cause of this glitch? How was this fixed?
It's the idling start/start software bug and solved with updated software.
Don't wish to change the HU becos of the steering control and nav like what Richard has mentioned.Get a decent set :)

3. Any reliable workshops to recommend for the a/m services?
1. Price varies from different company and also different type of coating, you can go ahead and visit the sponsors section for detailing to see which company you want. I did my pps too, best decision everI cannot make unlimited posts here. So I will put what I wanna ask in a single post.

Ceramic Pro Singapore: $1170 with nano polish (3 yr warranty and before discounts. C/w other freebies) - cheapest full package
KGC Bodykit: $1180 for Kube Bond Diamond 9H (one time application)
These are some shops that replied to me. Minimum ceramic 9H coating. There are bundles and packages which vary prices accordingly.
Chose Opti-shine titanium package. Forgo the interior and gotten 3 outer coats instead. Ask for discount haha.
All about $4.5k less one amp and sub woofer which I brought over from my previous car. Another 1.2k to insulate the car. Look for Teh (the boss) at Autoimage and he is able to configure something to suite your budget. Workmanship is great but price is on the high side.What is your total expenses for all?
Yes, Meemee, totally agree with you. Different music requires different set of setup. Actually, a decent setup will suffice if you are not too particular into the details of your listening. Anything beyond that will cost a lot more, eg. The type of speakers used, placement, good processor, proper insulation to the car.Steerling control should not be a problem

Sorry to hear but sure .. SEs typically ignorant and dun care and TC management also dun care and leave it to the SEs.
If Harrier is within you budget, it is really a no brainer decision but it is really different class at much higher $ and better get from reknown PI albeit higher $ also.

Car...no idea
Fret not. This is why they have the so call 6 bid of COE bidding. If TC doesn't secure a COE on the last bid, they practically will lose a customer to their rival. Will TC do that? Istupid is it? Their lost is their competitor's gain. Bear that in mind.Hi Eric,
Yes, it is still possible.
There is also a chance the COE might dip a bit assuming Uber, SMRT and those pte taxi companies have got their COEs the last round. If bit a lot, then it plays into TC's game too.... stretch to maximum of 6 rounds...
Anyway, knowing there is also someone else in the same boat as me,... now I wonder how many of us are out there.. all kena played played by TC. Can you image at the very 1st bid, the max TC placed the bid was already a couple of Ks lower than the COE at time of purchase. Really pathetic. And their excuse was, no worries, your car still not left UK factory yet!
I really hope future buyers will read these posts, and act accordingly. Not to avoid QQ or TC, but to go in wisely with all these experience in hand.

What makes you think they don't miscalculated? Even Borneo motor also can make such mistake... Remember those bought altis at all time low during cny 2015(was is 2014?) period and many didn't get their Coe?...If they have to make a loss, they will give up the deal and do refund... Its a non guaranteed package, remember?...
Hi BO65, I came to realize one point from EricChan's post. Those successful NG got it on 1st or 2nd attempts were when the COEs were declining. Yours has been riding on the up wave if I am not wrong. This could spell bad for your 6th (final) bidding round if the COE continue to rise. Don't give up your 1st choice QQ. Harrier is swee too but not your 1st choice. Moreover, cost much more with the current COE. Consider guarantee for your 6th (final) bidding round.Your case an anomaly and a strange one . Mostly nearly everyone here on non guaranteed got it on 1st attempt for QQ . A handful on the 2nd attempt .

if the SE is anything to go by:
�
according to SE;
1. �TC does not keep track of what was bid for you last and pre times. Ya right, This SE thinks we are all as dumb as he is. �He boasted years of experience and customer returning back to buy 4th time from him and TC. �And yet tell me something so stupid like this.
�
2. �SE blames me for not topping up and not understanding vitality of COE market. �But this same SE says 'confident will get' even after 3rd fail. �This same SE says no need guaranteed bid. �He don't need the extra $200 commission from the guaranteed bid. �Now its obvious its all TC's strategy to discourage guaranteed bid - its more margin for them to play the 6 rounds stretch whenever possible. �Gives them flexibility. For every bro here with 1st and 2nd time successful bid, how many out there are not and not in the forum to share their experience.
�
3. �This same SE himself does not keep track of what TC actually bids on prev bids too. �And he says "TC is very sincere. �TC placed extra $2k this bid compared to last bid". �But I kept track. �it was extra only $276 from last bid! �WTF. �He thinks he can conn me. If what he said is true, not by now BUT at PREV rounds already the bid amount would have been higher than the resulting COE. �Want to conn people also so stupid.
my experience with several SE in TC (as well as having�a PI friend having his ex runner inside TC)�has informed me there� can be�some variation between costs among them.
One SE told me must take loan otherwise $2 k penalty, others said none and without penalty.
One didn't give any discount, another gave original $1K but if ordered before certain time a further $xk (stock clearing).
Part of it is because�whatever extra�it is�going direct to their pockets (in essence they are self employed as they will not be surviving�without sales).
�
if orders on hand full,�that particular SE�will not be that hungry that month�and will dare to quote higher.

From what I know so far, SE is just a sales person on the ground. They take in orders and key in. They do not know and have no say as to how the comapny's executives in the office bid and do their policies. They can only guess or based on what is being shared w them. In short, do not put SE in your equation in a crisis like yours. In reality, they are not in the picture in decision making.if the SE is anything to go by:
according to SE;
1. TC does not keep track of what was bid for you last and pre times. Ya right, This SE thinks we are all as dumb as he is. He boasted years of experience and customer returning back to buy 4th time from him and TC. And yet tell me something so stupid like this.
2. SE blames me for not topping up and not understanding vitality of COE market. But this same SE says 'confident will get' even after 3rd fail. This same SE says no need guaranteed bid. He don't need the extra $200 commission from the guaranteed bid. Now its obvious its all TC's strategy to discourage guaranteed bid - its more margin for them to play the 6 rounds stretch whenever possible. Gives them flexibility. For every bro here with 1st and 2nd time successful bid, how many out there are not and not in the forum to share their experience.
3. This same SE himself does not keep track of what TC actually bids on prev bids too. And he says "TC is very sincere. TC placed extra $2k this bid compared to last bid". But I kept track. it was extra only $276 from last bid! WTF. He thinks he can conn me. If what he said is true, not by now BUT at PREV rounds already the bid amount would have been higher than the resulting COE. Want to conn people also so stupid.
Above is just my take. I could be wrong.

It is so easy to check what bid the car company placed for you. �Its just need your NRIC during the bidding process. �IF you know the IC number of someone who is waiting for the COE, you could actually check it during the bidding period. �
�
For 100K and more purchases, the SE would need to do a bit more. �How hard is it to keep track. �And to claim TC does not keep track too? �major BS. �This SE has �degree from UK, and Team Leader at TC. �But it was his team too who tried to conn me into selling my current ride at like 10K below market value!

Ask yourself, is your offer still attractive and worthwhile? To give up your 1st choice QQ cos of the unexpected commercial issues during the process, worth it? A SE would service you up to collection of car, where you will continue to enjoy your ride for 10 years thereafter. I believe you would still want your QQ. Considering the COE latest price and QQ price now, I think it is still worthwhile to pay $1K for guarantee. Cheers!It is so easy to check what bid the car company placed for you.

Hi B065,
I agreed with Pocy and think we also miss on key point on guaranteed COE I.e.if you really still wish for the Qashqai, 1k seems reasonable as it is already the lowest.
TC also need to first take care of those who indeed paid for guaranteed COE and differentiates from those who did not.
Cheers.
Richard
nope. �
they do increase. �
but each subsequent increase still will not be enough to make the last losing bid even.
�
Eg, the 4th round bid they placed was less than $300 higher than the amount they placed during the 3rd round. �Not even matching or higher than the 3rd round result.
�
imho, TC is not sincere in bidding for you. not even matching the last round is saying something about them trying to get the car for you.
�
Hope you get it in the 6th bid! Keep us informed ya.

Brake dust need to be removed regularly unless you have changed the brake pads.

Hi BO65,
�
I understand your frustration. I would be very upset if the same happened to me.�
�
I like to look on the bright side of things especially when an event like buying a car which should be a 'happy' event. Think of it as having a 2nd chance to evaluate the choices. Go test drive and start targeting another car if you don't get your COE in 2 weeks time and you don't want to deal with TC anymore.�
�
How could you. The car will cry u know ahahaha

I have a car siao colleague and he used to (use his fingers to) write "WASH ME" on my car bonnet. Because the dust layer was so thick, the words will be there for months�

My previous cars were silver colour so the dust is not too obvious, silver car look like grey colour only. Now with metallic black QQ, need to maintain if not wife will not give me peace, that's why I did PPS. So far I'm very satisfied with the PPS. I did the cheap one by Blacknano�

I read that PPS is not bird shit proof but it just helps in the cleaning because of the coating which prevents shit from sticking to the body or something along that line. This will be useful since i don't think I wanna spend so much time on cleaning.the effect wont last if u dont wash regularly. and do note PPS cannot protect against bird shits!
How about brake dust? As a noob, I'm imagining that this brake dust thingy can be dust off by using a feather duster like cleaning kit. Haha. Am I wrong on this?

Yes you are right. I did PPS cause my car is white and still need to wash once a week. Max also once in 2 weeks because I travel everyday and on expressway during peak hours is damn dusty. PPS is not to all encompassing such that you never need to wash or bird shit proof. Leave the bird shit long enough on your car and it will also stain with PPS.
�
The brake dust not easy to get rid off because of all the nooks and crannies in the rims. The easiest way is to use those high powered pressured water spray like those in car wash and shoot onto it. Commoners like me use a bucket of water and a $2 hard and soft brush fro daiso to scrub every week.

Kumquat, wanted to praise you and the rest too but realized that i don't have any points to praise anyone. No points in my account to do so =(. I have chosen white colour as well. Think it's quite a common colour on the road these days. Anyway, i suppose i can understand how therapeutic it is to wash a car. especially one that you really like. I won't mind washing my car too since it is now my responsibility to take care of it. I will probably be looking at the detailing sponsor section like what one of the bros here mentioned and do some homework.

Same answer as Eric.

1. Mine was at LK showroom also.

2. About 1hr. SE will run thru the paperwork then bring you to the car and run thru functions of the car. I hurried him thru the process as I won't remember what he tells me. Its better for me to discover myself.
�
3. Yes, SE will collect the cheque from you after securing COE before they register your car. After cheque collection, SE will register the car. Tell the SE the exact day/date you want to collect the car and tell him/her to register the car a day before that date. 1 day before you collect your car, SE will register the car and msg/call you to update you on the car registration number.
Collected mine Sat. After the one hour orientation and briefing by SE, still forget many things like the features and function in the HU. Too many to digest at one go ... haha.1. Can be either . Mine was at showroom LK.

3. Yes. Beforehand . Cheque was first collected and cleared (took 2 days). I think my car collection was something like 10 days later after I issued cheque ( car needed to do final fit up and registration).
If you have bidded car plate or old car plate to transfer over, bring the doc to SE when making balance payment (before registration). Any changes after registration, LTA charges will apply hor.

Get aa. Either from friend or own membership . Get them to restart for free with a member or membership. Battery cheaper at 50% from TC .

Very likely since a surge is needed to do a start. Also not forgetting your DRL .Only 1.5yrs... my old ride easily last 2.5yrs+ before showing signs of deterioration, eg not starting at 1st crank but needs a little more effort.
Is idling start/stop one of the culprits?

Nissan supplies the basic oem 55 ah battery which comes fitted with the QQ car. Even TC does the replacement of similar oem 55 ah battery at their workshops for cost reason.

If non emergency, it would be better to try third party brands like Amaron, Bosch or Varta which are comparable in price levels but would last much longer.

I remember seeing someones's rental car from TC being fitted with a replacement high specs amaron battery when his car battery died. That is the way things are handled for rental cars where the battery wear and tear is much higher vs owner cars.
They are asking for 2K, not 1K.

But I realized that they did not connect to another battery when changing, so all settings was gone. Trip meter...etc.
Worth a shot when it's time to do collection.And I remembered someone who collected his new car insisting that TC changed his car battery beforehand which they did (check old post) . Reason being the battery could have been sitting there a while since the time of manufacture, shipment and storage and is therefore not actually so new.
Maybe BMW520....In case anyone is wondering where Forte3737 is, he has been KIA (ie banned) .. and may already have came back in a different guise since the 6th May .....
http://www.mycarforu...1105-forte3737/
So who can he now be?
Mai dig .........Maybe BMW520....
wow ... less than 1.5 years for the life of this QQ battery. My 10 year old Sunny (just scrapped) ... used just 3 batteries (including the one which came with the brand new car).
�
Not fair compairson mate. Your 10 yr sunny has no touch screen HU, no auto start/stop, no DRL, no wiper sensor, no HL sensor, no back wiper, no bluetooth, no dual A/C, no digital speedometer and other stuff on it, just to name a few. QQ heavy on electronics, your old sunny is probably mainly mechanical.
�
Mine don't have start/stop and no other special battery draining gagdets except car cam.
�
IMO, car cam with park monitor on is the culprit.
Maybe BMW520....

Let it go..................
Was this carried out by TC team? Unprofessional ...Mine is 2.0. Original battery was 60ah. Replacement was 62ah. After hanging up, the assistance was here within 30 mins and it was replaced within 15 mins. Quite hassle free.
But I realized that they did not connect to another battery when changing, so all settings was gone. Trip meter...etc.
I reversed my QQ and hit a tree trunk. My rear bumper had a dent. Any workshop to recommend and what is the likely cost.
Thanks you in advance

Noted Richard. Thanks!Hey Talkie,
Many versions available and you can get them steelmate ones from taobao via aliexpress or 65diagou.
- internal or external installation onto tyres
- ciagarette socket charged or 12v powered display or wireless solar charged display type
It ranges from sgd90 to sgd200 but worthwhile investment in my opinion.
Cheers.
Richard
I just went for a drive and realised it's actually when stepping on brake, not releasing totally and inching forward abit, that's when there sound. Is it normal?
It is what we called a brake judder or groan and is just a nuisance
May I know if I change to another brand of brake pad will it solve the issue? I went for servicing, test drove with service manager and he said its normal. But it's really annoying me!!! Can anyone help please???

Pps only act as a few mil of protection against bird poop, tree saps and rain.I read that PPS is not bird shit proof but it just helps in the cleaning because of the coating which prevents shit from sticking to the body or something along that line. This will be useful since i don't think I wanna spend so much time on cleaning.
How about brake dust? As a noob, I'm imagining that this brake dust thingy can be dust off by using a feather duster like cleaning kit. Haha. Am I wrong on this?
So if u have pps, the company will always advise u to clean away asap. No one dare to put guarantee that after few days then clean away poop will still be ok.
Even I checked out those clear car bra aka clear vinyl car wrap. There will be stain marks if u left the poop there for some time and higher temperature will increase the reaction of poop to leave a mark.

Any portable jump starter can do the job , as long as it's a 12v ? Using another cars batt to jump start will hurt the good battery . Meaning no one will help u if ur battery is drain out . Is it due to the start stop technology . QQ 1.2 original battery is it AGM or EFB type ?
�
I think its EFB. But nevertheless�anyone can verify�whether the replacement battery from TC is EFB or AGM or similar as well. $175 before discount�for AGM/EFB battery sounds cheap. The problem�IF its not EFB or AGM battery and you are utilizing the start stop only means that the battery will die prematurely.

My Nissan QQ1.2T 1 year mark during servicing cannot restart due to battery flat lol. Start-stop usually not turned off, only additional gadget that drains battery is Blackvue front & rear, mileage 32,000km then.

I think most new modern cars have most of the above features.. but to know the battery last only 1yr or so is quite surprising.

Before anyone says I am criticizing QQ again, I am just letting owners know to be more cautious esp. from 1 year mark onwards.

Here people don't react very maturely & well to neutral / negative responses about the car.. have to be positive then can lol.
�
That said.. 1yr or 1.5yr is really very bad battery life. My other cars in the family with similar level of electrical equipment / features usually 2yrs.
�
Imagine out of warranty.. every 1.5 year must change battery.�
My last servicing I had drove nearly 40km doing errands before reaching TC.
Battery was tested during servicing, 100% health but only 70% charge.
�
I guess its the regenerative alternator that only charge during deceleration or idling.
If you have voltmeter installed,�can realise the readings decrease from 14V+ to 12V+ when u accelerate.

Haha chill man. I think most of the people around here know you are a previous QQ owner.
�
Did you get an external battery for your blackvue? I think the start/stop function of the QQ is horribly mediocre compared to the other cars with the similar function. It doesn't seem very smooth when it 'starts' and it stops and starts at weird situations (when shifting gear from R to P it stops. release brakes and it starts again even at P ??)
�
Anyhow, don't feel obliged to mask the bad stuff and share your experiences with the QQ. We can all learn something or two from someone who drove it that much.

I had the power magic installed for the camera.. and I instructed installer to adjust the setting so it cuts off way earlier than it should to conserve battery juice, should it start recording when car is parked (not sure if its possible at all lol)
�
For me, the start stop in the QQ was okay, not buttery smooth but didn't disrupt the drive at all. Able to move off instantly once I left off brake pedal & switched to accelerator although some people here mentioned there was a "lag". Also, I found the start stop feature more intuitive than other cars because you actually have to meet some criteria before it kicks in.. other cars' one is the moment steering wheel straight, depress brake pedal, it kicks in.. doesn't care how much distance you have travelled.

�
The installer that did my blackvue strongly recommended not installing the power magic unless the car is being driven around substantially a lot during the day and not left to parked for 8-10 hours before driving again because constant draining of the battery till the critical level left to start a car is not good for the battery. (maybe smoke me just to make me spend more on the external battery also... lol)
�
You are driving an Audi now right? I used to sit in the A4 quite a bit and felt the start/stop was a lot smoother than the QQ. Maybe I am just being niao but I really hated the grinding sound of the QQ when it warm start. Don't recall the A4 or Vezal having such a loud noise.
�
Anyway long story short, I just turn off the start/stop everytime cause I don't like it.
Edited by kumquat, 11 May 2016 - 02:32 PM.
If you intend to put your jump start battery in your ride, please do not blur blur get Li-on or Lithium-polymer powerbank battery. It is not meant to store at high temperature condition especially if you park your ride under the sun. I have gotten myself this type of dry cell http://world.taobao....1192885239.htm.
�
It can easily jump start the ride with start-stop function with 1 crank when the battery is fully charged. It comes with the cig connector which you can easily use other car appliances (such as vacuum, water jet etc) rather than to tap on your car battery power.

Yeah lor I do the same now.. Not because it's disruptive but I find it pointless & maybe just want to lengthen battery life. In fact, some brands, during servicing, they can help you permanently disable the start stop feature so you don't need to manually turn it off every time you drive.

I remembered my SE mentioned during the test drive that if the temperature of the interior (or something like that) doesn't match, then the start/stop function will not kick in immediately upon depressing the brake. Not a big problem to me and my wife, at most, we just depress the brake harder to make sure the vehicle comes to a complete halt.I had the power magic installed for the camera.. and I instructed installer to adjust the setting so it cuts off way earlier than it should to conserve battery juice, should it start recording when car is parked (not sure if its possible at all lol)

hi alextan, mine also end may get car n got it at 1st bid last week, but I ordered it just 2 days before car show. may I know how much u got it at the expo? what freesbie TC gave u?Hi all,
Also just ordered a Qashqai pearl white during car expo, and got COE on first bid.
SE says shipment should come end of the month, anybody else got news?
Think you book same time as me... I was considering Harrier, QQ 2.0 and Forester 2.0. Back then QQ 2.0 was 107K and Forrester NA was 102K... Dropped Harrier due to PI.Maybe they will give you my Pearl White. Already arrived 3 weeks ago and no COE after 5 rounds.
If you had booked Forester 2.0 it might be on the road now...
But buying with NG COE is a risk and reward case... Save 2K take some risk...
In the end it was communicated thus I dun think there should be much to shout abt... Then again... Understand your fustration...
May be still got last chance before you give up... �Altho I understand how disappointed you must be feeling...
Actually a bit excited to start testing the harrier!

Kadjar higher version has a lot of bells and whistles. The red looks good. Think it's diesel . Not so common which is good...( If you are into watch collection you will know what I mean : limited edition model.. ). Question mark is the gearbox ??not enough time to test drive yet.

I drove a few Turbo Diesel while in Europe, from The Tucson model, Audi A3,A4 �and A6 and also the Polo. �The one that gave me problem was a brand new A6 - LOL! �But that was due to a faulty indicator.
�
Diesel got no spark plugs, and fuel efficient. �
�
The Kadjar hi-end cost 10K more - called the Bose edition, with moon roof, self parking, etc. �But that makes it very pricy for a QQ brother model.

I wanted to test drive a Kadjar but one morning I saw a kahjar drive thru my carpark. The engine sounded exactly like a taxi from the outside, probably due to it being a diesel engine. So I dropped it from my shortlist.
�
Also, if you go up to Malaysia often, a turbo diesel engine may not be a good idea since most diesel are Euro 2 insteadof Euro 5 as requires for turbo diesel engine.
�
One car I was looking at but didn't have time to test drive was the Mitsubishi ASX.

Next time it will be Kadjar = qashai = ASX, all are badge engineered cars in 1 platform.
ya, Nissan scooping up 34% of mitsubishi and controlling stake after first bashing its reputation thence share prices, Jointly will be among top 3 car makers in the world �by volume�

Just to update on the rear aircon mod.
Received the parts from Russian and should have realised that they dun fit. Will need to change the entire console but will not venture any further and stop here.

Frankly, I think he should not get it. With his current perception on TC , even one tiny dot on bumper he might blow it up .. No point. He should move on to other make....
Kadjar is nice inside out except concern on gb. Harrier is too 'uncle' to my liking although the the interior is classy with leather wrap, those fake woodgrain panel is a turn off for me...Toyota like it a lot but not me...
yes, �very very unlikely I would be getting the kadjar. �Too much of a Qashqai in it. �Its more of a curiosity visit, and to test drive the 1.5T diesel. If I'm not taking the QQ, it would not be the Vezel or kadjar, �Harrier is high on the list. �Tucson is a possibility.
�
Forrester, Vitara and the ASX does not look appealing to me. �And I think KIA is highly overpriced.
�
well, �COE might just come down a bit this round. �CheapO TC might finally secure the bid and I will be with the QQ after all. �Fate is not in my hands, yet !
till next Wednesday 4 pm!
�
and I won't be surprised they have actually given away my car too. �arrived 3 weeks already. �And SE's words as good as toilet paper.
Really has no faith in TC.
�
Sorry all bros here. �I don't meant to offend anyone. �Its just this whole experience with TC and its useless SE. �Really pathetic.
�
I might be heading back to TC showroom this weekend. �A diff branch. have already forgotten what the QQ feels like..... �its been too long and too negative.

B065 , agreed with blackyv QQ is not in for you.Hi B065, maybe will be good to test drive Harrier whether it suites your driving style. My friend driving the 2L version complaint that the power is lagging. Don't be mistaken, I am not saying QQ is good or Harrier is no good. But just sharing with you from what I heard so that you will be better informed before you decide.
I believe sharing is caring, no matter whether there's differences in our opinion.
However I had refrained from saying this about the 2.0 l version of harrier until roycfw mentioned . The underpower was related to me as well by an owner who I chatted with while doing pps.
You do want to test drive it .

Indeed and power is usually never enuff for many but heard FC is not worst than 1.2L or 2.0L QQ but again, many factors and hard to compare but at least not known as guzzler.

I must admit that I would like my X-Trail (only one week) to have better drive-off power. After drive-off, power is adequate. It is heavy at 1.6+ ton, no choice. Thinking to take out spare tyre to reduce weight. I don't expect my FC better than 10km/l. My brother shared with me his Harrier FC not better than 10km/l. Both of us more urban driving.

Thinking to take out spare tyre to reduce weight. I don't expect my FC better than 10km/l. My brother shared with me his Harrier FC not better than 10km/l. Both of us more urban driving.

my harrier fc tank base average is 15km/.. even urban driving i still get 12 like that.. but then i use eco mode most of the time.. the harrier fc is darn good (for its weight) if u travel on expressway a lot.. i managed to get 20km/l for a 1 tank before as that tank 80% was expressway..�

Bro, can add K&N filter and ethrottle to improve your pick-up. Since X-trail body roll is higher, do consider front strut bar (for handling) and anti-roll bar (bottom). Estimated both is about $420.

Sh.....!!!!!!!!I have just fixed (plug and play) Racechip Ultimate to my QQ T1.2 few days ago at Fong Kim. Impressive and noticeable increase of power on low and mid torque. Those interested may give it a try.
But good things must share ......
