Unexpected Hazards...

There is one other defect (at least on my particular car) which I should mention. The switch controlling the hazard warning lights is large and friendly, but not exactly positive in its action - the button just doesn't "catch" in the off position.

If you use the hazards to thank someone for letting you pass (a common Irish custom), it can be very embarrassing when it takes several flashes to switch them off again. Worse, simply hitting a pothole (even more of an Irish custom) can set them off.

Strangest of all, I came out the other morning to find the hazards flashing, which they certainly hadn't been doing the night before when I parked it.
