Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Lots, gearbox replaced, clutch twice, battery jammed electric doors this first happened 2 days after taking delivery on holiday in devon. When the doors refuse to close you are stuck as you can't leave the car and it was full of luggage and kids. Not impressed I biought VW as I thought it was reliable. Even our Land Rovers were better than this.

Loads of space for people and luggage

Electric doors were for 2 days until they refused to close and this happens fairly regularly
