Had my 2015 184 (Manual) for about 6 months now from a private sale.
Minor snags so far include the random screen issues in the cold weather, very intermittent "long" starting issue and seized rear alignment bolts.
Enjoying it a lot, nice and punchy engine with decent power band, lot less peaky than earlier motors (Had a Skoda Fabia VRS a while ago).
Bit lively handing, Grip OK on PS4s but handing feedback not a patch on my 320d, bit lively and prone to lift-off bottom squeaks!
I looked into a bit of re-mapping but got a mate with a Golf with the same engine and his post-remap Dyno run did not live up to the hype (195 vs 220 claimed). Currently looking at Darkside Developments (Great Video here) kit to try and get some genuine power gains.
