Windscreen wiper arm broken.
General comments?
My overall opinion is that this car has been a fantastic purchase and I have been very happy with it.
The CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) gearbox is just fantastic. The whole car drives so smoothly. When you take off from the lights just set the revs (e.g. 3000) and the car accelerates staying at 3000 revs the whole time - the gearbox changes not the engine. Your ride is smoother as there is no jerk as the engine is disengaged from a gear and a new one selected. Brilliant.
The interior is very comfortable, the climate control works and is quiet and it is very easy and comfortable to drive over long distances.
Services are more expensive, but not cripplingly so and the car is picked up and delivered back polished inside and out. A free courtesy car is available (if you book a little bit earlier). the car tells you when it needs to be serviced - more often in you drive the car hard, but less often if you are gentle with the engine.
I can recommend this car to anyone.
