Cashcow Mk2.

 

The most obvious case of admitting that the Mk1's "radical" styling cost you sales since the Fiat Multipla.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

All those Qashqai's have been a great success for Nissan have they not? I thought they exceeded all expectations sales-wise.

Drove it to work this morning. Bloody nice thing to drive! At idle it's like a whisper too.

Eh? That is a Mk1. As Mr Bollox says, they've been a MASSIVE sales success.

[HMC]

Amazing! Looks like they got inspiration from a Metro Vanden Plas (that is a compliment BTW)

Love this. My mum had a 1.4RT which I used to borrow. It was very nippy with the 1.4 8v, the 1.8 must go well - are these the 1.8 16v as found in the sportier mk1 "clio 16v" - one rung below the Williams....

Seen a potential purchase on ebay.

What is book price for 57 vectra 1.9 cdti elite estate? 97 k on clock.

When’s the thread for when it’s in limp home mode?

 

Arguably a much worse bet than the 3.0 you got rid of. Value? I’d say no more than you could afford to lose. Probably no more than £6-700 I’d look to give, so a good few hundred less than the 1.8 Petrol.

Fleet news- Wartburg arrival due this Thursday, late evening. Cash in a brown envelope.

 

This already sounds like a Cold War drama.

AFAIK it's got a 1.8 8v which the RSI used, multipoint injection. It just accelerates smoothly up to the desired speed without any fuss at all. I drove my 1.9D earlier this morning and it was such a change.

It is a Mark 1 Qashqai.

Nissan didn't expect the Qashqai to take off aswell as it did/has.Nissan didn't think that people would get the concept when we first started the trials back in 2005/6.

Just think, before these people would have bought primeras.

They wouldn’t though - how many P12 Primeras do you see?

[DVee8]

At first it was a replacement for the almera.

[Ghosty]

Speaking of styling, I've been seeing a lot less Kia Sportfridges about since the new model came out.

 

Good.

I'm actually astounded at how easy to run it is. It looks massive and chunky but I'm guessing it's a similar weight to a focus.

Mate at work bought* one. Advised him I hoped it wasn't white. It was. Advised him he would soon find several magnets attached to his new P&J.

Sounds like your car got scared going by the sound the horn made If you want to upgrade I would highly suggest pillaging a scrapped Volvo 850 and/or S/V/C70 for their Mixo TR99's. I'm sure other cars have them too but they're easily accessible in those, just be sure to take as much of the wiring as you possibly can as they don't have simple spade connectors.

Much better!
