Fun, fun, fun! 2.5litre straight six just loves going!

Living with it
Reliability
If you get a good one, it just keeps on going! Very well designed and put together.

Still gets a lot of compliments... I reckon it's a design icon.
Comfort
Ok, even on long journeys. Car is quite narrow, but legroom is good.
