Living with it
Reliability
Good. Much better than earlier model I owned. Only breakdowns were faulty starter motor, and loose connection on starter motor.
Image
Minicabbers choice. I still quite like the looks, although it's stating to look a little dated.
Comfort
Good. Seats very comfortable. Engine noise a little obtrusive above 3500rpm.
