Who cares.

Already replaced it with a very old mercedes - no sat nav, airbags, or roof!

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Fabulous - direct steering, very good grip, accelerates like a sports car, firm but acceptable ride.
What's it like to park?
OK - I had the optional reversing camera fitted and it makes a difference. Quite a big car and a squeeze in my garage. I always parked away from riff raff to try and avoid car park bumps.

Various small things fixed under warranty - squeaky door seals, faulty map lights, no headlight level adjusters (they forgot to fit in the factory!).
