I disagree, J

My car stands out in the car park, with the black headlights especially.

Front windscreen mists up a lot in certain weather conditions - Goes really quickly when you point the fans up and the air con comes on automatically, but the second you turn the air con off again, it mists. Seems impossible to keep permanently clear - Very annoying!

Traction control in the wet in a T4 is a nightmare!

Tip: The pedal on the right hand side of the box is called an accelerator, but if you take your foot off it again, traction will be resumed.

What I hate about *my* s40 : The lying git who sold an unlooked after one to me. Still, I'm learning a *lot* about how its put together :-/

Mine certainly doesn't lol!

Honestly the majority of the range look nothing like other generic crap in the car park!

Agreed!

Don't know how many times I have to demist the windows on short journeys, it's murder.

Yes, but just trying to pull out of junctions or joining a slip road it'll slip in 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the wet.

On a rainy day Gary, I would happily swap your 1.8 for my T4 lol

Doesn't work Alex. Today it was damp and I was trying to pull out our Asda junction which is mobbed with traffic and you need to floor it to get out. I accelerated hard in 1st and the car started wheel spinning and I barely made any progress lol, might as well have just pulled out slowly!
