Hi all.
I defied all the negative YouTube reviews and bought a 2016 1.6HDi in colour grey-ish back in July 2020. I think they must have been reviewing another car because I think it's great, drives well, handles well, looks awesome and I don't care for the "scratchy plastics " test anyway ! It's nice to drive a unique model of car, not many out there, feels quite exclusive.
However, I came here to see what some issues are (wish I hadn't) as I have mine going in to a garage to have the knocking front suspension seen to, which only developed over the past two months. Also noticed condensation on the inside (while it's been snowy/icy on the outside of late) so am wondering if it's letting in water somewhere too, which another owner has recently posted about.
Noted the comments about the Start/Stop system, agree, it's non sensicle that the handbrake defeats its and yes mine doesn't always work, but it's a get around for emissions at the end of the day isn't it. If we're going to be in traffic a while, we'll stop the engine manually right? Speaking of which, bit of a pain that the radio goes off the moment you switch off the engine. I do miss ACC-On! (and am still reaching for the ignition keys after 6 months duh!)
All in all though, I'm very happy with the car.
Has anyone had their remapped by the way? If so what gains and was it worth it? I'm considering it, it is a bit sluggish and for it's looks, needs a bit more aggression to match:devil:
