Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Problem with the alarm which took main dealer a few days to get parts and fix. Mechanism for boot cover has flimsy clips which dont hold it in place.
What's most practical about your car?
Good sized boot if you need the space, but not very cleverly designed as a load lugger due to rounded corners and interior handle on tailgate. Can remove polystyrene filler if you're despirate for a deeper boot.
