Elegance 2.0 TDI CR 150 5dr Hatchback

Drives like it's falling apart!

Ever since I bought this car it's been back and forth to the dealers for problems with the handling. Initially the car was given a critical software update to the steering system, that made no difference. The vehicle has the tendency to drift especially in the wind. There is vibration through the steering wheel and pedals. Applying and removing power by lightly touching and releasing the accelerator causes the car to go off line. The steering generally feels loose and wobbly. The supplying dealer could not find a fault. I took it to a different dealer where the mechanic described it as rough. They replaced the N/S/F wheel bearing and drive shaft, and declared the car as fixed. It's still no better and is gradually getting worse. Another problem on my car that may or may not be related is that the gear selection has gone very clunky especially 2nd when cold.

Other minor issues:
Front door seals hold rainwater that pours out when the door is opened..
Spotlights built into the front door mirrors don't always switch off - risking draining the battery.

Would I recommend this car to a friend? - Personally no, but I am aware that others are happy with their car.
