Hi spec for a 1995 model, looking a bit average now.

Expensive parts, diesel models are economical, 45mpg is possible.

Driving
Brilliant ride full (photo gear, or paving slabs!) or empty.
Performance
Turbo diesel is fast enough for me.

Living with it
Reliability
Poor clutch cable connector: a plastic 20p item reqs £200 labour to replace every 30,000 miles! Always leave it in gear as it will roll away!

I liked the shape, still do.
Comfort
Brilliant ride, but seats are not too good: raise drivers seat and don't put maps behind!
