I bought one last November, the steering tugs the car into the hedgerows on country lanes... but is smooth as silk on flat motorways. It tramlines lorry tyre grooves.
Headlamp bulbs keep blowing, clock flashes on and off at will.
Factory CD backlight has a mind of it's own. Even so, it's a great car for long drives.
