    When they get older, they can start to go wrong, but parts are quite cheap.

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Generally pretty good. Doesn't like the heavy rain much, being French, and when electrics get damp, can play up. But is normally ok.

    Completely rubbish. Has been broken into three times in four times in three years. I had to get immobilizer for insurance, which works ok, well it's not been nicked.
