Engine sound very rough on tick over, vibration on steering wheel at idle is visible and make it unpleasant to touch. Something start badly rattle and whine on any bump under dashboard on passenger side. Getting worse by the day. Loud and embarrassing rattle appear from under the engine whenever brake pedal is used. Plenty of wind noise suddenly appears at speeds over 70mp/h. Low beam is useless, silly inefficient heater.
Much better than most people think. Genuine different and well made airy interior, top notch materials used. Simple, but efficient controls and plenty of toys even in base spec. Very good seats and one of the best rides I ever had in a car. Standard fit radio-Cassette looks atrocious, but has fantastic sound worthy of far more posh wheels. exhaust Sound very sporty when pushed, real shock to get it from diesel, but alas, bravo alfa. 43 mpg on average helps, but nothing spectacular there.
Update on a car 1year and 30000 miles later. Its Brilliant. Take 20 000 miles to run it in. Now it sound better, it handles better, wall of power and torque, dealer fixed squeaks, mpg 45, gives me a smile every day. Most fun car I ever had.
