Windscreen became loose after 3 months after foam and rubber inserts holding it in place expanded/contracted out of their positions due to weather. Inserts replaced and remounted screen.

Warning light for oil replacement still on after 18k service. Returned to dealer and computer was reset.
This is a good car to drive, its quite poky and gets from a-b in a minimum of fuss and handles well.
The steering is about as smooth and responsive as I can imagine, far better than any other car I have driven.
Fuel consumption while not great is acceptable. (about 31.5 MPG)
The cabin for driver and front passenger is comfortable and plenty of space for storage, rear passengers need to amputate their legs though.
Boot space suffers from the irregular shaped boot, though its still spacious, if you have irregularly shaped items.
Air conditioning takes a little while to get going, but is otherwise very good, the pollen filter seems to work exceptionally well also.
For everything that is good about the car it is let down horribly by poor workmanship resulting in far too many trips for warranty repairs.
Since writing this review the following has now gone wrong...
Cam belt is broken and needs replacing.
The secondary timing belt (eh?) is broken and needs replacing.
The water pump has failed and needs 15 days for a replacement to arrive.
A defacer pulley (what on earth is one of these?) is broken and needs replacing.
Axle bushes are broken and need replacing.
The centre exhaust box is cracked along with the rear box and heat shield which all need replacing (plus some pins and clips which hold it all together).
Now had the alternator fail and had it replaced.
This morning the air-con failed.

After the air-con had failed, driving home the engine started overheating (accompanied by a very nice bright red stop light).
If it wasn't a company car this wouldn't be nearly as amusing.
23rd visit to the dealership since Oct 03, and 4th in just over a month! More worrying is the increasing severity of the failures (particularly seeing as they are all engine related).
Sounds like you have a friday afternoon car!
