“I thought I was buying into solid technology. what I...”

Good Points
Funky dashboard.

Bad Points
Wiper moter went (nearly £400), window motor went (nearly £300), constant trips to the garage because tyres had to be stuck back on account of corrosion to wheel arch, and finally the piece de resistance - the engine blew up in the fast lane of the M3. I was nearly killed, and then I got a bill that escalated through a week of repairs (thank you, Ocean, Paignton, not), it started as a head gasket, then progressed to a cylinder head, and finally a cracked radiator. So the original estimate of £600 crept up to a staggering £2561. For one week's repairs. It would have been cheaper to send the car on holiday.

General Comments
I thought I was buying into solid technology. what I bought was a complete liability with enormous bills the like of which I have never seen in nearly 30 years of motoring. The constant worry of warnng lights coming on, in and out of the garage, re-checking the tyres and then the M3 incident prompts me to warn EVERYONE out there to fear for your life if you drive one of these cars. I cannot begin to describe my disappointment in this car.
