Living with it
Reliability
Quite reliable. Car starts in cold weather without any problems.
Image
A bit dated. Needs urgently an image update before the "fashion-police" start the alert. Looks similar to Nissan Sunny and other Japanese cars. Needs a unique image to make it stand out.
Comfort
Driver seats are a bit uncomfortable. You will feel the strain on your back in long journeys..

Security and Service
Security
Immoboliser seems to work. Not had a break-into attempt yet.
Service
Dealer service is expensive. Used third-party garage service outlets. Much cheaper.
