    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Yes, the most unreliable car I have ever owned. Boot release, DFP (twice), something seriously wrong with the gearbox and various other electrical gremlins. The air con is leathal, in cold weather if there is a slight temp change outside it will adjust the setting to the point where the whole interior of the car mists up.

    Interior space is pretty good

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    The car only looks good with the 18" wheels.
