Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
where do we start?? ignition coils have been changed twice in 7000 miles, air bag light keeps coming on and off, exhaust gas monitor light wont go off but cant find a problem with the car and water is leaking into the passenger footwell, also proving tricky to resolve
What's most practical about your car?
its got loads of extras- electric everything, air con ect. Quite a lot for a small car

I like the fuel computer it allows you to keep youre eye on how much your using, what mpg your doing ect
