Driving
Drive it for what it is and it can be very relaxing. Heavy clutch makes stop/start driving a pain.
Performance
Solo OK, towing slow to pick up but once up to speed fine.

Living with it
Reliability
Put to hard use daily and takes it all.
Image
Load lugging floating barge, but if it does the job, who cares?
Comfort
Smooth road great, otherwise choppy. Front seats poor.
