2.0 Sport Nav AWD 5d

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

In their own words

I got this car to replace my MX-5 as i needed something more reliable in the winter. It's comfortable albeit a bit cramped in the cabin sometimes. But it has three major flaws that drive me mad: 1. The fuel consumption is terrible! I don't know where the 44mpg is from but i'm lucky if i get 36mpg average. I'm a fairly economical driver so it's not because i'm thrashing the car around either. This is also due to point 2. 2. The car is so under powered! for a 2 litre engine it has no guts at all. It's the same engine that powers the MX-5 but the car weighs twice as much. It's crying out for a small turbo 3. The entertainment system is so slow and glitchy. In a brand new top of the line car, it should not take 2 minutes to be in a state that i can change the radio station or enter a new destination in a satnav Driving wise it's quite nice and smooth, although rear visibility is a challenge, especially out of the back windows. It's comfortable, but full with so many day to day annoyances that i have lost the pleasure in driving it. I will be changing this as soon as my finance plan allows me to
