"Its great when running well, but when things go wrong, its very expensive"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

In the two months I have owned the car I have incurred costs of £500.

First problem was the indicater fuse kept on blowing out, every couple of days and on some occasions as soon as one was replaced. This was due to a electrical wiring fault, which the dealer told me was quite common.

Secondly at only 25000 miles the cam belt needed replacing.

At this point I thought surely nothing else can go wrong. As I was driving I noticed smoke coming out of the steering wheel area and then smoke started coming out from the boot area. Again this was another electrical fault, that the dealer had to repair.

General comments?

I love the exterior of the car. Despite the car only being less than 4yrs old there is a lot of wear on the door handles.

It's a good grounded drive.
