Nice car, but too much trouble; I will never buy another one
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had 12 recurring faults so far. Here are the high points:
Engine miss at 2250 to 2500 RPM.
Speedometer error of 10 km/h slow.
Passenger's side front speaker not working.
In-dash cup holder broken.
Power windows operate sporadically.
Multiple "bulb failure" messages.
Replaced 4 headlights in 30,000 km.
Remote locking system most uncooperative.
General comments?
Dealer service in Belgium is the very worst I have ever experienced.
It is a nice car on the road, though. It is comfortable and easy to drive and handles nicely, although it has the turning radius of a river barge.
It has comfortable seats, with heat, and I can sit in them all day and arrive quite fresh.
The engine is quite willing, but I would like a bit more power when joining highways. I have the Canadian spec 168 hp model.
The car is a technological and maintenance nightmare for a busy person. There is a new fault literally ever week and I am completely fed up with this aspect of the vehicle.
In summary, I had expected a lot more from a "quality vehicle" after spending almost half a year's salary!

Vähätkö väliä kateellinen, jos ei kateus painaisi, et höpöttäisi.
Ei sit viesti ketjua.
Voiko tuon vikaluettelon jälkeen enää olla edes näennäisesti kateellinen???
