Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

I explored having this car crushed and dumped on the forcourt of Bristol Street Motors. I hated it since the day I bought it and tried to give it back after three days. It is all round hard to use. There are always error messages and beeps and bongs. Often they mysteriously go away without intervention. But in the meantime I worry if something serious is wrong.

The seats in the back are so awkward to manouver and the seat belts get stuck in the slots. There seems to be no strength in the car. For example the glove compartment floor got kneed loose and had to be glued back in.

As for changing a wheel. Don't get me started. It sits on a collar round the axle and rusts in place.
The back handbrakes sieze if left on for more than a day. So I park it in gear with the handbrake off.

I had a very old car and it lasted ages. This Fabia, I will be surprised if it reaches it's fourth birthday.

The controls are fiddly and Android Auto. What a piece of crap.
