AK350Z Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Todays courtesy car for the annual service and MOT! Fairly boggo spec petrol model (1.6DiG?). The Zed is it for it's P3, agreed to be done at the P2 price - about £260 I think. The optional brake fluid change is being skipped, as my new fluid and braided lines are coming from Alex today. That will be done at my local garage in the village. The Juke is ok so far, but with it being the basic interior, it's hard to see why you would want one over a Qashqai. The Quash, especially since the facelift is much more useful, and I thought, a nicer steer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southernspeed Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Mark at Abbey has started a development program for these. He's been scaring the local GTi drivers around Surrey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 They do kinda grow on you though. I hated my missus new one when we got it in Jan, but its kinda grown on me loads since then. Now with 14,000 on the clock the diesel engine has loosened up a treat and its surprisingly nippy. We got the Nissan Connect pack with the sat nav / reversing cam / bluetooth / music streaming etc. and it works really well. All the controls are in the right places and having driven it on some long drives its quite a nice car to be in. Not as nice as my beemer mind you, but it was half the price.

Yeah, I expect the higher trim and option levels are much nicer. The plastics are a cut below even the 350s no fuss dash, boggo stereo means no steering wheel controls, and the seats have no real bolsters! Could be worse, could be a Micra!

Yeah sounds like its a poverty spec one, but your right. At least its not a Micra!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK350Z Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 So, to update, got my P3 done for £250 plus the MOT, so £300 all in. Got two advisories for some slight deteriation to a couple of (suspension i think) bushes in typical main dealer fashion, but even they said it was only slight and just making a note of it. Just need to sort out the braided lines a fluid replacement now Also of note was a 60 reg 370Z in the car park that was in for gearbox replacement for 5th to 6th crunching.
