Summary
What does this car say about you?
A big fool for buying it!!!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Looks good, shame it does not drive as good as it looks.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No way. Dealers lack of quality control is poor. I complained about the brakes squealing and the service manager patronized me with waffle. I did my research before I complained. This is a common problem, disks have to be changed to rectify. 4 attempts to put it right when one would do. They just lost a possible loyal customer because of their incompetence I traded it in for a different brand. just yesterday. Next I get rid of my wifes Peugeot.
What are you likely to buy next?
Saab.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
This car is the newest car and the worst I ever bought. Big mistake. Too many trips to the dealers to put squealling brakes right (known common problem) also failed to start twice (exhaust sensors)and drivers door remained locked when all other doors worked. Criuse went faulty. The dash reflects onto the screen and I think this is a safety hazard. A pile of plastic junk.
What's most practical about your car?
If you want great fuel economy go for this one.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
folding mirrors
