Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes - basically anything electronic that could go wrong did! In 2 years, it spent more time static on my drive, flashing warning lights or being repaired than it did on the road. Auto gearbox decided it wanted to change gear and stick in gear randomly, engine went through phases of mis-firing randomly. Everything seemed to be triggered by one of the tyre pressure warning sensors being activated.
What's most practical about your car?
Probably the nice radio controls on column stalks.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Aftermarket Clario Sat Nav that had been installed by a previous owner.
