What happened to yours?
I'm weighing up whether to sale off my petrol Kodiak VRS or not...
When are you going fully electric?

I’ve got a list of 12 different issues. 13 as of today actually as the paint has started bubbling in a few places.

Wow youve got a proper friday afternoon car there, looks its was one of those that was subbed out to a peugeot factory
@Sirrel Squirrel Mines been pukka so far, had a few paint blemishes that VW sorted out, the wipers were crap, which again have been sorted. Just a rattle in the passenger side to resolve. But all in all a trouble free introduction to EV life.

it's funny I don't get why there are lemon cars given they are machine made.
But I had one as well.
my 1st fiat coupe 20vt was fantastic, I crashed it at 120k miles still on factory turbo and other than radiator,.brakes, exhaust, tyres and battery (oh and routine cambelt replacement) barely anything failed.
then after writing that off I bought a 20vt+ which on paper was better in every way.
it had done 60k miles but a warranty engine replacement at 40K along with new turbo.
and it gave me nothing but trouble. clutch,.gearbox, turbo and i got shut of it around 105k and I sold it with another blown turbo on it. a year later the buyer message me telling me it had had a complete electrics failure.

more practical than mini electric, frequency adaptive dampers, like juniperM3/id7, thicker roll bars, and scenic's more powerful motor over r5 , disliked vectored torque, w/wheel braking versus having a lsd;
brakes off a190 didn't say if like taycan more of a friction brake feel/bias.
vicki has some racing pedigree (like other 5th gear crew) unlike majority of youtube journalists , handled well on it's custom michelin (5? compound) rubber.
future classic ? something that will appreciate ... so might be on gibbo's radar ?
