Driving it

Fine when working, although a little noisy when having to drive on motorways.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
From the moment I purchased the car nothing but problems. After getting 3 months warranty from the dealer (which wasn't worth the paper written on) and RAC check was in the first month, 3 coil packs failed, broken indicators, engine management light, radio system faulty. Engine oil light and EPC light also on and off intermittently. Also had to replace over the year, cam belt, and manifold solinoid, so all in all spent just under £3,000 in repairs since I got the car.
What's most practical about your car?
Looks great, good boot space (although no spare tyre!!)
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Cup holders very convenient
