Economy
Value
Any problems so far have been easily fixed, parts tend to be cheap and available from scrapyards.
Costs
Low maintenance costs and insurance but can be heavy on petrol.

Driving
Quite a good driver overall, a bit heavy with out PAS but very good on the open road.
Performance
Overall I find this car to perform very well.

Living with it
Reliability
Always starts in the morning although it does cut out when I'm sitting idle but will always start again.
Image
For an older car there is no rust at all. Perhaps looking a bit dated now but still looks good especially from the front. Metallic paint helps a lot.
Comfort
Plenty of room and seats are supportive and comfy despite what other reviews say.

Security and Service
Security
No worse than other cars - if someone wants to break in they will.
