Ok picked car up today, done about 50 miles so far.
Impressions so far i love the car but wary on some things. I know im like this, spend money, not sure if done right, have i bought a lemon, will it go wrong, all the usual stuff that goes with spending a lot of money on a new car.
1. Damn electric handbrake. No issues putting it on, but taking it off, well. Click it off dash says its on, few revs to move away and nothing.
click button says on again, click button says on again, releases when move. Seems so hit and miss, and what happens when push switch down as opposed to pull it up....just thought is that my issue?
Also maybe linked, twice i have smelt clutch / brake smell, my drive is on an incline, but both times smell i have has issue with handbrake. And sometimes when putting brake on can hear a motor for what seems like forever.
2. Reversing. Can you switch off the passenger mirror tilting down when in reverse, i cant see my hedge in the dark, reverse lights so crap, same as Astra was.
3. Folding wing mirrors. Can operate from remote, got car set to auto, but does nothing. Do they only work on remote?
4. DAB. Can you not set presets like on FM?
5. Does the from yellow/orange airbag light never go off on dash, it used to on astrsa.
6. Headlights seem really bright and high on dipped, main beam just seems to light up another few metres above normal lights.
7. not really looked much but how to get seat forward, got lumbar, tilt, height ok.
Other than the above and the fact every panel needs paint correct i love the car.
Any ideas, me or the car or both?
