"It's great!!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing so far.

General comments?

Having read the other comments on the turbo diesel version of this car, I felt I just had to make a comment...

I purchased this car from the auctions, and it's immaculate both inside and out... OK, it's never going to win many land speed records, but it's reached 90+ MPH and still seemed to want to give a bit more...

Fuel economy; well at first it seemed OK ish, giving around 30 mpg, but then I've now realised I have been driving it around with the air con on, oooops, and after discovering how to switch it off (mine has a computerized climate control and switching it totally off isn't obvious), the fuel economy seems pretty damm good. I've just done my first proper fill up, and it's now just left the full mark after doing 140km. It's about 80 miles, I guess maybe a bit more..

It handles so well, and I am an ex Alfa man, and have owned over 50 cars over my time driving... it's a tad agricultural, especially when cold, but hey it's fun, and what the heck the other reviewers are on about when they say how bad the diesel version is, I have no idea...

I shall keep you updated on how the thing goes, but so far... It's greeeeeaaaatttttt!!!

OK, been driving this for a while now, and the 30mpg thing; I can do a long run where I get 30mpg, I can do short runs where I get 30mpg, I can use the air con where I get 30mpg... I think you're getting the picture; the car does 30mpg, but is still comfortable and reliable, it's just a good motor. Enough said I guess.
