Summary
What does this car say about you?
Mug I guess following the issues :)
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They think they wouldn't have one even if it was given to them for free watching the amount of times I either drive it back to the garage or watching it be towed off my drive to the local dealers.
Would you buy this car again and why?
I would have to say no, the drive is nice but not good enough to make up for the issues.
What are you likely to buy next?
Audi A4 - I think the lack of toys on the equilavent priced model will be made up by the quality of the car.
