Handling excellent, cant fault that, good grip and ride is fun. But noisy when pushing the engine, noisy when doing motorway speed, uncomfortable.

Parking is not a problem.

The boot had a fault and wouldnt shut properly, already had to have new brake discs/pads to stop a noise coming from wheels, but turns out it is now a fault from the handbrake which is to be repaired, interior flimsy, much of which has broken/cracked.

Absolutely nothing.
