Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes. Tracking was "way out"; new tyres as a result of that. Ball joints have excessive play - replaced. CV Gaiter was insecure and leaking grease - replaced. Brake line was routed incorrectly and rubbing against suspension - replaced before it wore through and I lost all braking. Awful intermittent creaking noise from front end, been investigated twice and they can't find a problem - yet.
What's most practical about your car?
I do get about 61-64 mpg on a 70 mile per day A-road journey to work.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Um... trip computer? Decent radio.
