"Set and forget"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Loose clip in engine bay caused rattle. Spotted and fixed by dealer.

General comments?

Goes great in the suburbs. Great economy. Easy to drive, with great driving position. Roomy if spartan interior.

1000km update.

Highway speed stability is not good. Feels as if it's floating a bit. Also knocked around by crosswinds.

Interior plastics mark easily.

Air conditioning leaks condensation behind front left wheel.

But otherwise a lovely car for the suburbs. Getting about 500km on a 45L tank in suburban driving with air conditioning almost constantly on during a hot Sydney summer.

All AC leaks water, one place or another. it's perfectly normal.

The part that's leaking the water, is the reciever/drier that removes the condensation from the air. It's perfectly normal and is evident even on the most expensive cars.
