Overall reliability
The most unreliable car I have ever oned
Purchased with 50,000 miles. full FSH, I have continued this. Now at 80,000 here are the issues over the last 30,000.
Both front brake calipers siezed. Both fron wishbones replaced, front drop links, all 4 wheel bearings, all undrerbody pipe/cable hangers/clips rotted away due to the plastic under trays storing mud, road salt etc. less than 50% underneath has any factory rust protection. Main drive shaft bearing to rear, The entire shaft replaced as the beasring is a factory inerference fit (£2000) . Both front wheel side cvjoints fell apart at 75000m.
I wish I had never bought it. One saving grace, practicality.MPG average over 80,000m is 27.
