Very reliable engine. Interior breaks easily and electronic dash is failing to work sometimes.
Image
I love the image, but as the other people rating this car have said... some people like it and some don't.

Very comfortable car! Nice heated bucket seats. Very good for long distance journeys. Also, the driving position is good.
