New catalytic converter after one year.
New rear shock absorbers after one year.
Various modifications made to the sunroof. However, this still rattles.
New brake shoes after two years.
Exhaust fell off after two years.
Continual rattling from behind steering wheel.
The car has lots of extras for the money, but who needs central locking and sports seats when your exhaust falls off after two years!
To be fair, I have never heard of anyone having an exhaust fall off and new break shoes after 2 years. Not least both happening at the same period of time.
This leads me to belief that it maybe to do with your style of driving. There is correlation here between the 2 faults. If you drive hard and fast, the exhaust works very much hotter and harder... At the same time the brakes work double time to slow you down as well.
I think its important to review your own responsibilities before putting the finger of blame onto the car.
