Indeed - something came up and I didn't finish the post properly.
1 - I found it under-powered at the time and had concerns about it fully loaded with boats on the roof, etc. The salesman did say they were looking at putting a more powerful engine in it, so that may no longer be an issue.
2 - the constand background whine of the electric motor, which got particularly tedious on the motorway. I can hear fairly high-pitched sounds (like those ultrasonic cat repellant things).
3 - poor handling. Again, may no longer be an issue in later models.
4 - bland looks and plasticky interior.
I actually ended up complaining to the dealership about harrassment from the salesman, who kept ringing me up asking if I'd made a decision and offering me this, that and the other as incentives to buy a car I didn't like in the first place.
