Not impressed at all.

Booked the car in for a few warranty niggles: occasional acceleration hesitation, very loud rear seatbelt rattle, squeeky/groaning handbrake, front passenger door won't stay open on a slope.

Basically they didn't fix a thing.

For the acceleration they said no fault code came up, so there wasn't a fault. Ahem.

Seatbelt is rattling as loudly as ever.

Brakes the same as before.

Looks like they did the wrong door 'cos the driver's door seems to be a bit stiffer, whilst the faulty one is still the same!

To top it all off, my Magic Tree air freshener went missing, the car wasn't cleaned and my sunglasses were just left on the floor in the passenger footwell.

They just didn't seem interested. Certainly won't be using them again.

Had a cool Test drive on Friday of the New Octy Diesel VRS
felt slow to start until I got it to one of my Favourite roads near Ashton Court
and then I realised WOW this is a good car
Pulls nicely and corners good
not sure if its better than the fabia will need to get someone to compare against each other properly
Only thing I was unsure about the car was,
Changing gear and using the handbrake the CD/Pocket between the front seats seemed to keep getting in the way.
so fingers crossed I get this new job and looks like I could end up with a new car

I had a good service with Clist and Rattle on 2nd January I was surprised I was able to book this is with such short notice.
They spotted and dealt with all the niggles I had. They even spotted the bulb that had blown I blew it that morning.
but I doo have one bad Comment
They CLEANED my car

as it was part of the service.
Did a good job of that mind looked like new again.

I would never use them again. Loads of problems with body shop and service. Too many to list. My new car experience very badly tarnished!!!
