Reliability
terrible! In 6 months of ownership I replaced..steering rack (£900) alternator (£100 recon) batteries (2) radiator, alt. belt - this car is impossible for a DIY mechanic to work on!

not bad,but starting to look dated now.

Excellent - very comfy for long journeys, and the flexibility is superb.
