Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Initially broke down repeatedly and showed ERG fault. That had already been replaced and after a lot of time, no-one could determine the reason. Garage I use regularly suggested it might be one of two sensors and took a chance on changing these. It has since driven without a problem.

Good rear seat passenger space.

There are none!!!
