A car from hell

I bought this car in May 2005 and sold it September 2007
French car built in Spain isn’t a good idea.

Good:
-1.9dCi engine had real punch
-Big boots

Bad:
- Premature brake worn, excessive squeak noise
- Glowplug had to be changed at 20,000Miles
- Misaligned Rear Suspension means rear tyre worn unevenly, need new rear tyre every 15,000miles
(Inside tread 7mm, outside 2mm)
- Boot latch failed intermittently 22,000 Miles
- Wheel Bearing Worn 30,000 Miles
- Rear Coil Spring snapped 40,000 Miles
- Dishonest and incapable dealer
- Non stop Electrical problems
- Interior rattle
- Poor design meant, unable to DIY change headlight bulb
- Poor economy, average 45MPG

I opened a bottle of Champaign when I sold it.
