Hugely reliable engine. Rubbish everything else! I just over 2 years I had a electric window break, speedo fail, radio catch fire, alarm develop intermittent faults, and central locking play up.

Quirky and not too outdated - Looks really odd when you raise the suspension to its higher setting!
Comfort
Roomy.
