Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes loads, spend a good £2000 fixing it. Starting from the DPF going wrong and failing bringing the car into LIMP mode, to a mysterious Oil leak that no one could figure out where it was coming from!
What's most practical about your car?
Probably the boot, for a hatchback it had quite a lot of space in the boot.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The ECU remap I done to it to bring it up to 170bhp, made driving it more fun.
