Good!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
This car does not put a smile on my face! Passenger seat jams and will not move forward or back, so friends are left to sit in the back. Seat levers are forever falling off. Drivers seat occasionally does not 'fix' properly and has occasionally shot back whilst driving, so I am unable to reach the pedals and have to grab the handbrake... I always double check the seat is firmly positioned now, but it still does it - very dangerous! It also makes me (when driving!) and all passengers car sick!? Peddles are extremely close together - I have size 4 shoes and I often find myself accelerating when I should be braking! My husband cannot drive the car at all due to pedal positions. Air-con always comes on, even if you switch it off... next time car is started air-con comes on again - very annoyin
What's most practical about your car?
It's nippy and small so excelent for parking in town etc. Good on motorway... that's about it!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Nice to have radio controls on steering wheel... but these keep going wrong too!
