Living with it
Reliability
I was unlucky and suffered numerous suspension related problems - spheres failing, fluid leaks.
Image
Styling very dated now - image is irrelevant to me.
Comfort
When suspension is functioning correctly, comfort and ride quality is superb.
-
Security and Service
Security
Basic security, but irrelevant as car is not a primary target for thieves.
Service
Main dealers very expensive and sparsely located - find a good non-franchised garage because you will be on first name terms with them.
