The volume on the stereo has a mind of its own,not good when it decides full volume is needed when it see's fit so my radio stays off most of the time. Never thought id say i regret getting rid of my renault for this. Its an 02 520i sports btw, think i wasnt ready for this type of car yet.
did you test drive the car before buying,thats the time to moan and not buy it,the 520 isn't quick and wasn't meant to be,ive a 520 and have none of the problems you describe,why did you buy it if you don't like it?
