Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Loose tail gate to roof seal/trim had to be re-fixed twice in first 3 weeks. Several annoying design/function flaws; Touch screen needs too much attention (i.e. eyes off the road) to adjust heating/air-con, dedicated tactile temp & fan controls would be better and SAFER. Screen wash tank is too small (approx. 2.5l), can't be checked visually (it's between body panels) and has no low level warning sensor. Auto wipers are erratic/random. No single wipe function, only wash/wipe. Auto parking brake/hill-hold does not work in co-operation with ECO Stop/Start. Tail gate collects rain water, when opened water pours out, then drips for several minutes (colleague's same car does it too). AdBlue re-fill (@16k mls) doesn't match service intervals (@18-20k mls), so 2 service visits in 3 weeks!
What's most practical about your car?
