Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Where do I start? Failed axle bushes after 2 months A/C stopped working Electric windows became erratic Car has a major problem when the engine gets hot and switches to "limp-home" mode. This is only resolved after enging cools down Loads more problems but it would be selfish to take up more webspace!

5 door hatch
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The general unreliability of the electrics leave me in fear of all gadgets, the seats are comfortable though.
