Driving
Very good, comfy for such an old car. Sporty with rear wheel drive, plenty of room for beers in the back (to take to a party).
Performance
1st gear is poor but after that its good, 120mph was the fastest I dare go in mine and still pulling.

Living with it
Reliability
Only broke down once, Then when the AA got there it started up and went like there had never been a problem.
Image
Only the Cosier has and Image, This has to be one of the uncoolest cars on the road now, unfairly so.
Comfort
Very comfortable seats, plenty of room and a big boot.
