What was the dealer like?
Car-Change Bristol - in my view they were unprofessional, rude, didn't have a clue. Well put it this way, my car had an engine error and the car was under warranty from them and they wouldn't fix it. It just had problem after problem.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
where do I start. Error code that dealer claimed couldn't be fixed. Problem was highlighted in the Chryler Haynes manual and it could be fixed, but would have cost them. Bushes split one side while driving. Then the other was on it's way out so had to be replace. Various other things we must have spent over 2K on it.
What's most practical about your car?
no one would steal it lol. you def have to have the nack at starting it with it's special way and getting the key out of the ignition and then the fuel cap. I hated filling her up.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
heated seats, leather seats, sat nav, parking sensor. loving car inside but terrible to run and drive.
