In their own words

This has been the worst buying experience of my life. The car developed a fault within the first 3 which the garage dismissed as teething troubles weeks but it then reoccured 8 months later. The fault on both occasions involved the car stalling (it's automatic and shouldn't) whilst going in reverse and then failing to restart after the event. The times it stalled for me were on a hill so the car also failed to brake rolling me into a road of oncoming traffic. The car then spent 7 months in the garage and despite having new brake parts technicians have been unable to say why the car is failing to brake and why it is stalling. I got my 'repaired' car back 2 weeks ago and immediately I felt there were problems with the reverse not engaging properly. Then the car stalled whilst in reverse on the flat after moving a few metres backwards and wouldn't restart despite me trying a few times. The whole car was dead. I stepped out and the car to speak to a witness and during our conversation the car suddenly roared into life, flew back and dragged me across a flat car park. My body broke the door which is bent back against the front of the car and the car hit a post and stopped and the engine was dead again. Do not buy this car for your own safety.
