Not so far. Only just picked it up, drove like a dream, very clean and tidy, just passed an MOT too, so dont imagine much will go wrong.

For us, leather interior. Going to be used for tip runs and taking 8 dogs to the parks, wipe clean material.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Its got everything! Electric windows and mirrors, leather seats, lights in the doors, good radio system, its great for the money we paid.
