"Value for money if and only if problems inherent in transmission and suspension are rectified."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Transmission is disappointing. On several occasions (at 11 months old), gear "D" and "2" didn't work. Had to go for the "L" to move the car, before could switch to the "2" and "D".

Transmission produces jerk when changing gear.

Vibration felt too early. Don't know what the cause is, but think that from engine mounting (it is possible?). At the speed 110 km/h and above, vibration felt coming from the front cigarette ashtray and right-hand air-condition hole.

Think that suspension has deteriorated so fast. Can feel significant difference driving off from showroom and present.

General comments?

Power is acceptable.

Ergonomics.

Economical.

Sounds like a batch problem. I have the same car minus the alleged problems. :-)
