Richard there not untouchable, they are great little cars, definitly not worth selling. Every car in this day and age has technical problems, thing is we are the guiny pigs of the latest model. The early build engines apparently had a design fault with the cylinder head seals therefore the oil wouldnt be retainied for start up. The new engine is in, running perfect, I knew the moment it fired up it was perfect, no clatter clatter like in the old engine. So those having the clatter sound at startup maybe worth getting back to your dealer and requesting a new engine with the modified seals in the cylinder head.
