Living with it
Reliability
A few niggles, but nothing major.
Image
Getting a bit dated to look at (despite being the colour-coded facelift version), but it's the driving that counts.
Comfort
Leather seats very comfortable on long hauls. Car is well insulated from noise, except the glorious sounding engine.
