    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Car has been fine until recently. The rev counter has broken and the ABS is kicking in a 10mph which I believe is a common fault for this model and is caused by the sensor rings fallng off the driveshafts. Annoying and expensive.

    Good size and has never let me down.

    Its an S model so there are no fancy gadgets.
