1.3 i-VTEC EX 5dr

Poor

When I bought the car there was a juddering from the clutch, and after some complaining the clutch and mechanism was replaced. This did not cure it although it was not as bad as before. I complained again and the dealer had the car for three weeks before returning it with no further work done. When I complained again I was told that it was within tolerance and to monitor it myself. It has not improved over the last ten months and I have driven it only two thousand miles in that period. I may be within tolerance but it is the worst clutch and gear change I have ever had in numerous years of driving, worse than any Ford or even British Leyland! It is unpleasant to drive and an embarrassment to Japanese engineering. The design of the car is good, the production poor.
