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

In their own words

Possibly one of the worst cars I've ever had the misfortune to own. Even the Vauxhall Meriva Mk. 1 outclassed this expensive piece of junk. Not worth the money that was paid for it. All in all an extremely disappointing car to own and drive and the positive reviews must be false, as this car is a complete joke, even more so than the Hyundai's of old.

How reliable do you find the car?

Perhaps giving it 3 stars is being generous. The car has given out a nasty smell since purchase, have tried everything to get it fixed. The hose leading to the coolant overflow reservation tank melts unbelievably easily. The stop/start rarely works and when it does, the car engine literally shudders horrendously to a stop.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Severe lack of cubby holes, no cruise control on ANY model which you would at least expect on the "Premium" model. Excrutiatingly poor fuel consumption for a diesel (rarely does more than 37 - 42mpg. More rattles than an old Lada Riva. Shudders horribly over bumps. More body roll than a Reliant Robin going around a corner at full speed (think Jeremy Clarkson).
