Overall reliability

The most unreliable car I have ever owned

First the good - Ok fuel economy, comfortable, lots of storage pockets, drawers, etc. Looks quite good.

The bad: terrible reliability here is a list of what has broken in the last few years.

both front window winders/regulators failed
one back window now not working
failed air con pump
failed dashboard
full rebuild of both front and back brakes needed at less than 50,000 miles
failed heater fans
bonnet release cable broke


Last service including a couple of above items cost £1200 - car now covered just over 50,000 miles

Heavy on tyres
Wipers are terrible too - and both little plastic covers on the wipers have fallen off.

I have owned many cars in my 32 years of driving experience and this one is the worst.
