Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Turbo oil pipes leaked two weeks after we got it and 2 years later and needed replacing under warrenty. Front bushes needed replacing under warrenty, Rear bushes will need the same soon. Heater control didn't work from new, fixed though. Chrome Alloys blistering, now fighting with Chrylser to get them replaced.

The internal height, seats fold flat, as does the front passenger seat which means you can get a door inside!

Tinted windows and the accelerator pedal :-)
