Driving
Feels solid and secure, goes where you point it, but need to be driven properly. No PAS on mine, which teaches you how to steer. Properly.
Performance
Quick at lights, bit sluggish in 5th but once its going, it goes like a train. Sits at 85 quite comfortably but at 14 years old, thing do rattle. A bit.

Reliability
156000 miles and still going- just. Needs to be run, and kept topped up with fuel or she gets grumpy if neglected. No oil needed yet.
