Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes 1. After 10 days, passenger side carpets soaking wet. Apparently a panel joint was not sealed during assembly. Seems to be ok now. 2. Noticed a lot of apparent stone chips on both wheel arches where they meet the rear door. It's at the bottom of the arch, the door seems to flair in at this point leaving the arch exposed. Anybody else had a similar experience.
What's most practical about your car?
Very economical
