Many small problems and not all it's cracked up to be.

I loved mine when I first got it but soon the small niggles appeared and have since got worse. Rattles from the tailgate in cold temperatures. An auto gearbox that has a mind of it's own and cannot give a smooth drive. Rear doors would not open from the inside. Key fobs that the actual key doesn't flick out of and you have to prise it out with your nail. Bone jarring ride which has not got any better. Terrible fuel consumption low to mid 20's urban, low 30's on a longer run. Rear seatbelts don't retract or 'fall' properly and make the most horrendous rattling/knocking noise on the hard plastic trim. Very dim headlights which leave big black areas to the left and right just where you need them when cornering. Three beeps from the rear of the car when locking which means the alarm needs resetting. Occasional complete shut down of the infotainmant and sat nav which only comes back to life after a restart.
The dealer has forgotten (or is unable to) reset the service indicator so I wonder what else that have either forgotten or are unable to do!
All in all lots of disappointment.
