Firstly I'd like to thank everyone who's taken the time to post replies. It's been very interesting reading about your views regarding the tyres, an issue which did concern me as I had seen various reviews which encouraged getting the 17 inch over the 19 inch wheels. The debate about the infotainment system, especially the most recent post by Aone, has encouraged me as I had heard the RLink system was a little quirky.
In the end I have ordered the Kadjar albeit with 19 inch wheels, I have bought the car through an agency which has given me a 33% saving on the list price but no choice on wheel size, so with the money I've saved being able to go towards paing for new tyres and the fact that French roads are considerably better maintained than UK roads, I'm hoping the tyres will last a decent amount of time - oh yes, and also as of the 1st July the speed limit on the vast majority of the country's 'A' roads is now 80kph (50mph) so I won't be going anywhere in a hurry.
Another major factor is that in France you're never far from a Renault garage but there are comparatively few Nissan ones. I would appreciate anyone's advice about whether they respect the advised service intervals for the KJ, every 20k or 2 years seems a little long.
As always there are compromses, I wanted a CD player because I'm used to having one and have c 300 CD's to choose from but I'll have to rip them all and get used to using a USB key. The KJ doesn't have the same rarity appeal in France as in the UK, in fact I have yet to see a new QQ over here but KJ's are very common. The size of the boot of the KJ is another winning factor, the new QQ boot, esecially with the Bose sound system, is quite small. And little things like the parcel shelf and the number of USB ports also helped me make up my mind.
I have no doubt I shall be back on the forum once the car arrives and I find that the French handbook doesn't have the answers I'm looking for but in the meantime thans again for your help in steering me towards the KJ.
