Security and Service
Security
I think it is bad that you only get a flashing alarm button if you have the alarm fitted. Mine took 2 months after I bought the car to install. Why not have the button as standard? Else it shows the car is not alarmed.
Service
Did a deal with the manager but next day received an email quoting ""I have changed my mind in what compensations I will offer"". I rest my case!
