  • Living with it

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    anything? everything. Previous to this I owned a 2 litre petrol coupe. It was flawless, nothing went wrong after 12 months and 30k miles. I had the diesel for 4 weeks and started getting warnings on the in-dash computer about partical filter and 'min level gas oil' It drove away perfect for a few months with the odd electrical problem once in a while but eventually went into limp mode (despite having the partical filter replaced and cerene topped up)

    What's most practical about your car?

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Leather seats & the computer
