Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Keyless entry system is crap on this particular car had to use safety key a few time then the ignition stopped accepting card or intermitantly worked sometimes shutting engine down when driving ... very frightening. sun roof leaked causing main computer to fault and fail. coil spring snapped bursting near side tyre, a few other minor faults...

The size. with growing kids i needed a big car at a reasonable price got that but also someone elses problems.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Sunroof and aircon best of both worlds.
