Only if filled via the lid, not if filled via the spout, as recommended earlier.
thought that was a 1 LITRE of water MINimum for a second
thankfully it's 1 x cup, useful to have litres market too
I'm sure it'd still be junk after 2 years of our water though..

That depends on how you buy it - My GP retained nearly 50% of its value when I bought it, because I did it a year old with a few thousand miles on the clock. When I got rid of the GP for a Focus estate (which was a great car) again it was just over a year old 9k in the clock. 3 1/2 years later with 62k in the clock I got nearly 50% back of what I paid.
For my new car I've just got I wanted lots of toys and kit. The supposed 'premium' German manufacturers couldn't anything for a reasonable price with the kit I had on the Focus for a reasonable price, all stupid money for nothing.
I ended up buying a car that would of cost £36k brand new with all options on it for £20k a year later and 11k miles.
The Alfa Guilia looks tasty though especially if they do an estate version... could tempt me back to FCA group..
So what is it?
Mate of mine has just swapped his Mercedes B class AMG line for a Qashqai for similar reasons. Cheaper, better equipped but also not "shporty" so of you get a high spec one you don't have to suffer elastic band tyres and suspension composed of bricks..

Filling a new memory stick up with music, go to plug it in the car... and most of the tracks have deleted themselves!!! [emoji52]
Are they there when you plug it back in to the computer? Blue and me is extremely picky about the files it plays.

Nope: a whole load of the band folders had emptied themselves! I think it's a faulty memory stick. I'd tried filling it up and setting the volume for all the tracks a few times, but something was going wrong, so it was a process of elimination as to whether it was the stick, windows media player or the software that equalises all the volume.
I know it isn't the Blue&Me: it works a treat with my current memory stick.
Ew trash Media Player.
Probably the memory stick, I've had exactly the same with photos and a digital photo frame!

I don't mind windows media player, lol!
I know it's definitely the stick now: I quickly slung a load of music on the stick I use for my documents backup, and used the volume software on that, and it works absolutely fine in the car.

Might be worth a format of that stick or something once the files have been removed or backed up or whatever or just invest in a new stick. One of mine did eventually die after doing what yours did!

I did try formatting the stick a few times, but to no avail. My dad is going to try and get it exchanged. (It was an Xmas present!)
Flash memory is odd in that when it has a fault there's no telling what went wrong! They should refund it with no problem.
I stick with SanDisk. A few friends bought 64GB and 128GB flash drives from eBay from china and I wouldn't trust them to work a) fast, b) reliably or c) for very long.
I think you do get what you pay for, and you're best to stick with the good makes.
Pioneer head unit in my Panda is a fussy f*cker of a thing to get music working on in regard to formats and file naming.

I just stick with mp3 files, and the media player in my car works an absolute treat: it's a godsend, lol!

Ah Fiat's Blue&Me remember that in my old GP.
Had the pleasure of using U-Connect touch screen in a rental Fiat 500x on holiday. It's a terrible system, the first of its kind I've encountered that will play music through Bluetooth like a scratched CD as it couldn't cope with doing sat nav and playing music at same time.
My MK3 Focus had sync1 - that was an evolution of Fiat blue&me and it worked great.
I think the Ford Focus system was very good in a friends 2011 model. Used to envy how despite my iPhone being a great sat nav and my high quality music files on my radio that it didn't intelligently turn down the volume for directions.
Car reviewers didn't seem to like the Sync system if I remember correctly (could be getting it confused with another). But I can't see anything wrong with the Ford one!
Never tried Blue & Me but the Non-Uconnect units with it don't look like the optimal interface for features such a Bluetooth streaming etc!

Is that not on iPhone problem rather than head unit? If I'm streaming Bluetooth music and using sat nav via my phone automatically varies the volume.
Yeah I don't have a Bluetooth stereo, or I'd have that functionality! I use a USB flash drive to store lossless files on sounds quite good!
The iPhone does do that though! It's just my setup that's lacking
