My wife bought the QQ for the auto gearbox and handbrake
(touch of arthur-itis) and after finding the Rover seats too low.
It carries 5 folk comfortably and luggage for two can be hidden
in the boot. I got a decent discount by knowing an ex-squaddie (my
electrician). It's not done many miles but I can't get the figure back on to
the display so don't know. Seems reliable so far except for the
battery (Fiamm).
Ours is the 1.2 with CVT autobox, not very economical or fast,
small tank as well. Word on the street is that if the autobox
dies then it's scrap. I can hear the Turbo whistling...
It does everything Cath wants, so far. But I have a few
thoughts…..
Not keen on the ride, I struggle to read the map. Mists up badly, the 75 is much better. Hence the heated
windscreen and AC options? Light controls are rotary switches on stalks so you can't feel
what they're set to. Try switching the fog lights on! With lights
set to auto (I try not to change anything when I drive) I very
often use the headlamp flasher when the autodip sees a
street lamp . The 360 degree cameras work OK but on a rough track at
night I ended up on the grass, everything looked the same and
the display ruined my night-vision. It will take a spare wheel (not standard) but a full size one
would take a lot from the boot. Don't lift the wipers then open the bonnet. There's nowhere big enough to take my A to Z roadmap book. Dash-board reflection is worse than the 75. You can't leave a spare key hidden, unless in a metal box.
