Headlamps misaligned when delivered.
Fresh air vent jammed when delivered.
Dent 'mysteriously' appeared in wing over Christmas (thanks Anon).
Only small things, but the PDI should have picked them up.
I fixed them myself.
For the money you just can't complain. All ratings above took the price into account (and I got a SUBSTANTIAL discount). It's a small car, and it's cheap, so yes it rattles a bit, you can hear the engine, and it hasn't got a very big boot. But it looks great, it goes well (considering it's insurance group 3) and it's at home on the motorway or in the car park. It does everything I want it to, but not a lot more. I love it. No other new car comes close at the money. Sporty, alloy wheels, central locking, electric windows, leather s/wheel etc., Italian pedigree....I could go on....just buy one!
Alternatives were:
Ford Ka- no thanks...I don't want to drive a bubble.
Nissan Micra- see Ford Ka.
Rover Mini- The day before yesterday's technology.
Kia Pride- The budget ran out before they got round to 'styling'.
Actually, I thought a Ford Ka was a moon buggy.
