It was like riding around in a tank!!!! :lol:


I would agree but we hardly drove it enough to find out...

When we went to collect the car it always had a fault on it which was not noticed by the garage, like the wind screen wipers could not be switched off and the next day it was the indicators would not work. The time afterwards we got 100 yards down the road an the whole thing cut out dead and so it went on. After several visits we finally left with the car which as you remember I only kept for three weeks.

For the next three weeks we had to keep a close eye on the weather because we soon discovered that when ever it rained the car would stop or suddenly do something highly unpredictable like flashing all it's lights or sounding its horn constantly. This made driving in a rainstorm a somewhat exciting, if not dangerous pastime. Stopping dead in the outside lane of the M3 and having to get out and push isn't great!

What was impressive was the amount of literature that I was bombarded with and when I was asked for feedback I told them I had already sold the car and congratulated the garage that the continuous rubbish about their car that they were churning out was covering far more miles than we were!

Never again :roll:

apparently yes and in ecuador as well as russia. the company has entered into a joint venture with gm (via chevrolet and daewoo) in order to modernise their designs and was also looking at assembling renaults (the logan) but i don't know if anything came of that.
