Review updated due to major issues
Up until its third service apart from a slave cylinder replacement, this was a nice, powerful and economical car to drive. Since October 2018 though, I've had nothing but trouble. The car has been recovered twice for smoke coming from the engine bay (oil leak that took three visits to fix) and a broken cam shaft sensor (caused by the dealer). A complimentary sofware update seriously affected the performance and the final straw was a replacement inlet manifold that together with the software update meant the car was half the car it used to be. This after running almost exclusively on Shell V Power. I've since traded it in and good riddance.
