Dynamique dCi 1.9

The worst car I've ever owned

Owned this for just over a year before having to sell it for £280 sc***.
Soon after buying (but not soon enough to be able to go back to the dealer) I needed new rear pads, along with discs / bearings assemblies - which I can kind of accept as wear and tear.
After that the electronic parking break failed - £300 for a used one to be fitted. What's wrong with a lever and a cable?
The flimsy key cards stopped working - fixable but again more money and a ridiculous design in the first place.
The card reader itself stopped working, which I managed to fix just by luck really, after I dismantled it. I suspect many people wouldn't have done. Again, part of the destined to fail and utterly pointless keyless system.
A turbo hose split.
Various front suspension parts (ball joints, drop links) wore out.
Crankshaft failure, requiring a replacement engine.

The final straw was gearbox failure, which added to the cost of a new clutch and flywheel (pointless not doing at the same time), was just too much to take.

Having said that it was quite comfy, but then so is my sofa and I can't drive that to work every day either.
