    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Yeah, I have now had to change both front suspension springs. Both of which snapped in half and they went straight after each other which i have been told is a common fault. I have also had to change the coil, plugs and leads. The doorlock on the drivers side has also broken. The radio also turns on and off at its own free will.

    What's most practical about your car?

    It has good fuel economy.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    The a/c is very good in the summer it cools the car quickly but also substantially drains the power. The leather seats also look good.
