c5 1.6 vtr plus hdi

Quiet comfortable and very economical.

My car was recalled to have window trims replaced/checked some time back. On the odd occasion especially after heavy rain i noticed water in the footwell both sides (worse drivers side). After closer inspection i noticed that they had not replaced the seals properly at the bottom corners of the windscreen both sides (worse drivers side) by a couple of centimeters. They were folded back in on themselves leaving a gap. After realining them and adding sealant as the rubber had become kinked i concluded that everything was now ok. However two weeks ago my wipers stopped working. I took the car to a local autolectrics company and the conclusion of their report was "both wiper motors blown due to water ingress".
New motors cost £215 each plus diagnostics and fitting. Luckily i managed to get two from a salvage company at a cost of £90. Even then the cost of repair was £306.
Obviously i am not happy and have contacted the dealership. I will report back on how they respond.
Otherwise i am very pleased although i have the above issue this is not the fault of the car. As far as ride comfort and road noise is concerned it will be very very difficult to beat.
Lacks storage space in the interior given its size.
