Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Car has been fine until recently. The rev counter has broken and the ABS is kicking in a 10mph which I believe is a common fault for this model and is caused by the sensor rings fallng off the driveshafts. Annoying and expensive.

Good size and has never let me down.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Its an S model so there are no fancy gadgets.
