"A disappointment"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The front foot well carpets started to move out of place immediatly when new, moving away from the retainers on the sills.

The rear door finisher strips both moved from their original place on the doors and caught as the front doors were opened, breaking them off.

Total electrical failure on several occasions usually when driving at speed.

A knocking noise from the front suspension which can't be traced, been there for over 20,000 miles now

It has an intermittent fault on the boot switch, sometimes it won't open.

Starter stuck in engagement, causing lots of smoke and burning smell.

General comments?

The car handles well and is quite economical. It is spacious and suits our needs well, however it was bought as we needed a reliable car to get to work, my previous car never had a fault in 3 years.

The dealer service is mediocre, but adequate. Prices are reasonable, warranty work has been prompt to date. The HDi service schedule is a bit of a pain by modern standards, requiring a complimentary 6,000 mile intermediate service, entailing another trip to the dealers.

I have found with this model it's a lovely car, but the loud cracking noises from the front right hand side of the car as you turn right are quite worrying.
