"Would have rather got a Ford S-Max"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Air vent broke after 2000 miles.

When picked the car up, there were 2 dents and scratches, and I was told I got what I paid for.

The range on the trip computer was reading 370 on a full tank, and dealer said that was fine.

Headlining fell down at the front after 2000 miles.

General comments?

Handles well and goes quick.

Most of the car is good, except the fuel comsumption.

The seats are comfy.

Could do with electric rear windows.

There is lots of room in the car, except when you have all seven seats up, then you have hardly any room left.

"When picked the car up, there were 2 dents and scratches, and I was told I got what I paid for."

I can't believe you accepted a) being treated like that and b) the car in that state. I would have walked away there and then personally.

I recall going to collect a brand new Renault Megane once which had a small but deep scratch on the tailgate (not mentioned, but left for me to notice). Despite assurances that it would be taken care of, I point blank rejected the car on the spot.

I'm not asking for miracles. I've paid for a new car - it should be in perfect condition. Anything less means the Sale of Goods Act applies, as the car is not of merchantable quality, or as described (new).

On a more general note, being treated like this when you collect your car is hardly a good indicator of how you're going to be looked after if ever it goes wrong.
