Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
yes,the car started to shudder at 60 mph. I have been told it needs a new radiator, torque converter and gearbox costing about £8000. It has only done 27000miles. This is due to a fault with the radiator leaking into gearbox oil and is fairly common. It is a disgrace that these cars were not recalled.
