Electric seat packed up - blew fuse!
Indicator blew.
Washers sprayed all over floor as pipe came off!
Easily scratched.
Fuel consumption is very high around town. However, fuel consumption on the motorway is excellent. Money lost due to town driving is easily gained with long runs.
Very comfortable to drive.
Driving position superb. Electric seat helps.
Crash protection excellent - my last one was written off! Airbags, seat belt pre-tensioner etc.
Reliability is excellent - so far!
Doesn't grumble at high speed - before you realise the clock is reading 100mph! Rather scary!
Excellent acceleration.
Shows up the Nova boys!
Easily modified!
Quiet engine.
Gearbox can be rather notchy at times.
Looks rather stylish, but can be let down by easy scratching.
Air conditioning helps on hot days. A must!
Since writing the original review, the car has been very reliaable. I now have 91,200 miles on the clock and have only had two problems. Firstly, the catalytic converter went costing me £250. Secondly, the car failed on the MOT due to a fuel leak at the fuel filter. The problem here was that garage (which has now shut down) broke the fuel pipe causing a small leak. On the whole, the car has been great so far and I'm hoping for the reliability to continue.
