Reliability
Had to be towed home 3 times due to water getting onto electrics, but since changed coil and water proofed electrics no further problems. (Watch this space!)
Image
Looks good with alloys and colour coded bumpers etc. Mine has lowered suspension and spoiler so looks less grandadish!
Comfort
Seats are really comortable and height adjustment helps for shorter drivers.
