Just to update you all on my feelings of the 1.2 Tekna after three days of owning.Good points:The engine very responsive and quiet, pulls well from a standstill and very nippyThe gearbox is super smooth, the clutch light and the recommended gear change indicators usefulRide is very good especially on the 19 inch wheels, very little roll and no loud bangs over pot holesSteering light and precise but could not tell any changes in the two modes, the turning circle is good for a large/wide carThe seats seem very comfortable with just the right amount of padding in all places, could do with height adjustment on the passenger side as it seems very low down, but good for head roomConnect System. Seems to work very well and album covers in colour are a nice touch. Connect with Smartphone easy enough to set up and useful if you like Facebook. But the best part is the Google search which will find anything and then transfer to the Sat Nav for directionsHeadlights are brilliant, the LED's certainly do a first class job of lighting the road upThe LED sidelights look very classy and are bright, rear ones look very stylishI actually like the electronic handbrake, it seems to release itself with very few revs from a standing start and the auto on with ignition off is first classNot So Good:No auto locking or auto fold windows. The boot cannot be opened from the key ring all seem to be a step backwardsSome of the welds around the inner door frame look iffy and not sealed very well, the paint also very thin around the door innards, could lead to rustingSome rubbers around the doors held on by tiny plastic rivets and already coming loose, I put a little Tiger Glue behind to hold in placeMain fusebox at the back of the glove box and difficult to reach which looks a nightmare for changing fuses or adding extrasThe boot cover very lightweight and flimsy looks like it will damage very quickly if mistreatedI am off to North Yorkshire this weekend a 200 mile round trip any further comments will be reported
