Going by that list I'm sure you must be driving it like a helmet as mine has no issues at all and my last one was pretty good to!!

I'm sure my driving was to blame for the windows failing and the wiper arms being bent

The seat material has worn out

And its had a gearbox and clutch at 7k from new and now its juddering like fuck when it gets warm

And I'm one if the few drivers who looks after their vehicle, the others just wait until it breaks down before saying "its been making horrible noises for the last few weeks lol
