Not at all. I'm very impressed with the build. The doors go clunk and not thwack-rattle, he goes where I point him, corners like a cat with its tail on fire, and more mod-cons than I've ever had, inc. auto retract, heated wing mirrors, automatic/Tiptronic (easistick) trans, et al.

On the minus side: the turning circle of a super-tanker, at 2.0 Ltrs not very fast (0-60 ... eventually), bit of a gas-guzzler cf Euro cars.
