"A very poorly built car with a poor engine and components"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The car has a flat spot and a distinct lack of power. It also jerks quite violently when cruising at speeds below 50 mph. The car has been like this since new.

General comments?

Apart from the problem with the engine which the dealer insists doesn't exist; it also suffers from a very poor driving position.

The sports seats make it awkward to use the handbrake.

The gearbox is loose and noisy.

The boot is non-existent.

Most of these comments are gripes you have with the car that should have stopped you buying the car in the first place. For example.

- "The boot is non-existent." Why would you buy a small hatch if you wanted a boot??

- "The sports seats make it awkward to use the handbrake." How often do you use the handbrake for that to be a major issue?

The dealer hasn't been able to detect the "violent" jerking below 50?? If the problem is that bad perhaps take it to an independent inspector and consult a solicitor.
