Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

I replaced my BMW 3 series with this car, and i read a lot of reviews saying this car was just as good. Well, that's just wrong. It is a very practical, family oriented car which is what i was looking for. However, the engine is weak and not as economical as you would hope on a motorway. I have found the car to be good, not great. The equipment is quite basic, the radio struggles to tune into stations, and the seats are extremely uncomfortable after an hour or so. It's a shame really, i had high hopes when i bought the car but after a year i can't wait to get rid of it.

How reliable do you find the car?

The car has developed an oil leak that 2 separate garages are unable to find the source of. Also, 3 months into owning the car a rear brake pad fell off

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

MPG isn't as good as i expected on long journeys, although it is excellent around town. It's main selling point to me was practicality and on this the car can't be faulted
