"A good car, but expensive to run"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator failed at 3000 miles.
Replacement failed at 25000 miles.
Battery failed at 5000 miles.
Intermittent electrical faults persist - dealer does not accept that they are happening.
EATS tires.
DRINKS petrol - 18mpg best.
General comments?
Very quick particularly on long journeys - which is just as well, since you have to refuel so often!
Very usable, with lots of space.
Seats uncomfortable - particularly driver's.
Handles like a jelly - not fun to drive.
