General Comments
Seats are very heavy for removal if you work and use this car for family life. Engine shows up problems quite early, remains faulty even after full replacements. Dealer Companies do try to get out of the warranty at this stage, steering assembly rusts easily, very expensive exhaust system, air cone problems are not so cool either, rear view mirror fixing lets you down when driving! Ultrasonic sensor positioning in loading areas are placed on a poor site. Radio speaker rings makes noise due to its poor mountings. Radio remote is not user friendly for the family. Radio faults, missing reception can take three separate dealers to find a single fault. The electronic ignition in cold weather always becomes faulty, fob key pads wears out, easy to loose than normal keys. Tier pressure sensors are a constant problem, can give fault when weather changes from hot to cold or other way around and each time when changed. Passenger side key cover plastic toothbrush cover flies away. Expensive Internal navigation gives no UK traffic info, until go to eBay cd. Turbo problems. Rear suspension leaking oils. In addition, would have liked to have more reliability to go with the name and price. Expectations and false reliability image given during sales process hides by display of the modern features fitted. Heavy on fuel and heavy on repairs if possible I will stay away in future.
Avoid unless you do not mind spending money whilst not having a working car at most of the time! OH, don't let kids fold that reat back rests via very small lever, drops or traps their little finger!
