Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Power steering pump failed in the first 6 months I had it. Cost £500 to get new one fitted. But fine since. Just general wear & tear, tyres, brakes, exhaust.
What's most practical about your car?
Its small and quick so fits my purpose. Other than that if you want practical buy something else. Its not meant to be practical. We have a Nissan qashqai for that.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Love the retro styling. Too many to mention.
