Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The engine management light came on, and I traced the fault to corrosion within the oxygen sensor connections. The seat frames are broken and this apparently is common, as the spot welds come adrift.
What's most practical about your car?
Very easy to service at home. Power steering and auto great around town, and when on the motorway the 1.6 engine does keep up with fast traffic.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
