Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Rubber damping coupling for the Haldex was replaced when I bought it. I replaced the standard stream radio with an aftermarket unit, as it was pretty poor.

The sheer size of the boot, even the missus can't fill it!

Has to be the optional xenon headlights, a must have for any car.
