No nothing gone wrong with it at all.
What's most practical about your car?
I don't have to fill it up every second week. As it runs practically on Air. lol Also I was able to get the car up to 700miles with one full tank, well which was mostly driving on the motorway with 70-80mph.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Electric Windows, Electric Side Mirrors, central locking and Power steering as my previous car didn't have all these things.
