for me, so far so good, from the opel fb group, you can see good and bad reviews as with all other cars.

I would say no major issues yet but minor issues seen to be there.

 

it really depends on the individual, in the opel fb group, there is 1 guy driving a crossland that is complaining like hell due to a persistent alarm issue(it seems the alarm is too sensitive and goes off too often). What I understand is that the dealer offer courtesy car for him to leave his car there while they troubleshoot his car, but he demanded momentary compensation first. till now, you can still see him complaining at every chance at the dealer even when it is just a simple meetup that fellow members organized.

 

fierce. i should do that too.

What issues still outstanding?

From 1000km till now - steering turning clunk + rattling over uneven grounds + pulling left

 

Recently sent in for above + AC Button peeling off, came back the AC button worse than before replacement

 

I'm not even being fussy about the flexing noises since it's normal for Conti cars (at least entry levels)

 

Only consolation is the ECU update improved engine response by alot, daily drivability very enjoyable less the above

 

The next time go in, I confirm be gentleman

I feel we should endeavour to be gracious.

 

Rather than aggressive.

I for one believe in settling matters amicably.

 

Don't know why some like to bang tables.....no offence to anyone.

Was told that if it is 1 litre, it is due to it being a 3 cylinder and that is why vibration is more profound especially when stationary. If yours is 1.4, then i don’t know why too.

Sian, I kena the steering sound also.

For my case, at carpark speed and turning more than 90 deg. (Typical multi level carpark)

 

Steering pulling to the left also. I did laser wheel alignment after I Changed rims. The diagnosis also showed that the car is aligned to the left. After that become better Liao. Not perfectly straight but still got abit.

 

To make you feel better, my wife’s 6mth old Mini One, is flooded from rainwater. Apparently the rubber seal and sealant don’t work. Her shoes etc in the boots all grew mould. She is not the only Mini owner affected. Her car was in the workshop for 2 full weeks before it was fixed. Lol.

 

My old K3, had misaligned bonnet, paint stain, door and dashboard rattling and odd engine vibration at 1300rpm on the day of the collection.

 

I guess not all cars are perfect. Haha.
