Take a look at the Qashqai forum and ask questions - they're a friendly bunch (I'm 'mini_mad_paul' on there) http://forum.qashqaiclub.co.uk/
I have a Manual Tekna and it's brilliant, just done a 400 miles round trip to Glasgow (in 24hrs) and feel absolutely fine afterwards, it's a really comfortable cruiser.
Wish I could get an Auto Tekna, and after having had the top spec (with heated seats!) I couldn't down grade now.
