This is with mixed emotions that I write this!
What a fantastic little car, lots of smiles per gallon but it does get diluted by two things:
The warranty and reliability issues, mainly my screaming bevel box. At 175 miles I was told by dealer it would be replaced under warranty. I spoke to the factory who insisted it would need to do 1000 miles (Carsten and a couple of others never made that!) before they would do anything. So I am now 900 miles and planning a holiday. I need to go via the dealer and hope a new one has been sourced. It gets no quieter. Dare I take the run to Jugfrau in three weeks?
I also called the factory about some extra parts, accessories. What a waste of time. Emails are not answered and answer phone messages are not returned. So I email reception and ask if they have a Customer Service Department, guess what no response.
I would rather spend my money with a company who actually cared. I know that service nationwide is on the decline but I really expected more of such a well respected marque.
Might just sell on and get something else!
