Re: What don't you like about your Grandland

Had mine less than a week and it's going back so they can finish building it! (68 Plate!) Doors out of alignment. Tailgate out of alignment. Tailgate glass falling out and those are the faults I can see!
The car itself is nice, just spoiled for me by poor build quality - I thought the concept of a Friday afternoon car was a thing of the past with all the quality control checks they have these days - seems I was wrong.
There are many things I really do like about this car and I'll happily list them on another post, but since this post is about things you 'don't like' I'll list them here (bearing in mind I've only had it a few days and driven about 50 miles)
*It looks like a Vauxhall but you can really tell that it's a Peugeot, with Peugeot electrics!
*Although looks beefy and solid when you take a close look it's quite flimsy and lightweight
*Supplied with horrible Peugeot locking wheel nuts instead of robust Vauxhall ones. I've had to have the Peugeot ones drilled out before on my wife's Peugeot. They wear quickly and stop working then you can't get the wheel off!
*Finding the clutch hard to get used to, foot keeps slipping off it - not sure if it's the angle of the pedal but never had this issue before
So when mine comes back from being mended and I've done some miles in it I'll report back.
