Living with it
Reliability
The engine has never let me down, but the body work is poor. Rusty and leaks through the back window and now through the dashboard! Driver's side lock has given up also.
Image
Not a bad image, but no looking dated.
Comfort
Seats are a bit hard and flat, but generally good. No room in the back.
