As the heading says "5 months on".
We've had "i" for 5 months, 11200 km clocked up. Time to rotate tyres & check alignment.
PRO'S
economy, comfortable & supportive leather seats, good forward and side vision, steering is direct with (dare I say it) good feel, suspension is well sorted, A/C is damn cold, plenty of poke when tromped
CON'S:
Scratchy finish on 2 interior door handles - replaced.
Mic for phone - picks up road & engine noise 60% of the time ( possible recall coming )
Rear vision not great, (it's a hatch -still no worse than a SS with rear wing )
DEALER SERVICE :
Organized door handles, managed to chip a piece (5mm square ) out of paint at top of L/H guard - looks like touched up with liquid paper - been waiting for options for doing repair - heading that way next week, time for a serve.
Male Owner Problems :
Still drive off with side mirrors folded in
Still smack forehead into hatch area cover -have drawn blood
Extras : Floor & dash mats - $150, full window tint (20%) with big strip across the front - $170, slimline weather shields with solid blackout tint - $60
Verdict :
Winner ! !
Excellent value for money . Perfect commuter or 2 up traveler.
Dealer service will be served.
Male owner may need software revision
(was going to say "update" but that's leaving myself open ....oops, asking for trouble )
Also forum member for 5 months - Excellent forum , best one I belong to !
