Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
3 Recalls, clutch is terrible, sits about 2 inches above the break pedal, bite is horrible, if your sitting in traffic its a battle not to stall it. Rear window handle was broken off when it was delivered. Just had a speed sensor fault on cruise control/limiter, not had it sorted yet.
What's most practical about your car?
Nothing really stands out.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Sterring wheel is quirky
