Reliability
Yet to fail me, touch wood!
Image
In my opinion, this car is the class leader in image and style, with chrome and wooden trim normally only found in larger prestige vehicles.
Comfort
Either my legs are to long or the steering wheel is to far forwards. Seats do not offer the best comfort available.

Security
