Water hose failed, fixed under warranty.
This car has two sides to its character. The good: Excellent MPG, roomy cabin, flat out performance.
The bad: Turbo lag you can time with a calender, steering that tells you as much about the road surface as Stevy Wonder can tell you about a Rembrant masterpeice and an interior that the great musician could have designed better.
I'm glad to say that the lying scum who sold us the car had their Fiat franchise taken away from them and the dealer we now go to in Winchester are at least proper human beings.
But the jury is still out on the car!
I, too, have a problem with the turbo lag. The turbo lacks any sense of progression. You have to rev it hard to overcome the slow performance initially, then the turbo kicks in and sends you heading for the nearest kerb. Not a refined way to travel.
