Our X has been the most unreliable car we have ever owned by a country mile, just this week the passengers side window wouldn’t close - great when its -10c with windchill.

When you go for a drive you literally have no idea what might break, when the dash computer might freeze, or on Autopilot when it might decide to brake check the driver behind for laughs.
But thrown in with the bad is the little nuggets of good, like when sitting at the traffic lights wonder when no one is moving AP 'sees' and shows you a red light far ahead out of human vision. Or the pièce de résistance, pretending to be a convertible but without the wind/cold.

I know which of those options is suppose to be the 'best' but I also know 23 years later which one of those events I still remeber every detail about
