Reliability
This one had not been regularly serviced before I got it.
Image
Poor image, but that keeps the prices down so I don't care! its a hidden gem. I loved this car.
Comfort
Amazing - even with seizing front suspension struts, it was still way more comfortable than any conventional shock and springs car.

Security and Service
Security
Poor, I had my stereo nicked very easily.
Service
None - but local specialist was great, if a little pricey.
