Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Very minor: 1) As I was buying the car on a rainy day did not noticed there were tiny chip marks on both sides of the bottom panels that looked like rain drops on the black paint, the garage promised to polish it out on my next visit. 2) The clip on the rear bumper was broken - now fixed 3) The park assist for the front goes out of sync when heavy rain - it will be checked when the paint will be dealt with.
What's most practical about your car?
Visibility, driver comfort. Although would like a bit bigger boot space.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Park assist is my favourite.
