I'll tell you a feature that is really annoying, speed locking not only does it annoy me every time I hear it click into the lock position on all 4 doors but also it burns out door actuators. At least it can be disabled in T4 options.

Thing that bugs me is I think the boot release is too low to reach. I wish it was a bit easier to get to without breaking my back. Maybe it's just me...

Definitely lack of boot opening knob and I don't have remote release either. Also all the leaks! The cup holders are utter utter rubbish! Get in the way and don't hold anything other than small, light cups.

The other half has this enabled on her ZT, she love's it and I hate it. Drive's. Me to distraction.

I've had mine disabled, I found the main problem was passengers would keep pulling on the interior handle to open the door, and because it would not open - because it needed 2 pulls - they would just pull harder and nearly wrench the handle off ...

That's a T4 option that was probably set by the original owner, you can have it changed to one press opens all 4 doors ......

Yeah that's a problem I've seen so many times while dismantling, people just keep yanking until something gives and it's always the handle or plastic chrome surround, but don't get me started on them plastic chrome surrounds they are such a poor design they make me laugh everytime I see them..

I like the single point entry feature.

Don't like:
Don't like lack of cubby hole in the boot of a saloon and in the front.
Rear seats that dont fold flat or split.
Too much roll in corners.
more switch options then holes in the centre console.


think the cars is great however

Poor reliability with little warning of things going wrong

Temperamental electrics that render car useless to get home.
Waterleaks inside car, mostly boot.
Coolant leaks from header tank cap, hoses and V of V6.
Airbag warning light
ABS warning light.

All a complete pain in the ^&* but a lovely looking car, a greater cruiser and fun to drive.
