Living with it
Reliability
Cambelt/oil nonsense expensive - electrics a joke.
Image
Understated - not German - cool - invisibility can be useful.
Comfort
600+ miles a day no problem - kids say it's like a Cathedral in the back.

Security and Service
Security
Likely lads leave it alone cos it's a street sleeper - good.
Service
Almost unbelievable in their desire to have nothing to do with it.
