Poor driving position - steering doesn't adjust and seat height adjustment is not great.

Problems
Engine
Coolant problem - water pump replaced. I lost all power on the motorway and car stalled in the third lane. Recently the fuel injection system failed and cost almost £2k to repair - I sold my car for scrap.
