Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Button for the boot went and needed replacing. Air con is tempremental and when really cold car takes ages (15mins + ) to heat up. Rear window washer pump is always going wrong even though I have had it replaced. Paint work on the red is really bad, fades and chps within a couple of years! Not very economical on fuel.
