Living with it

Constantly breaking down, poor electrics, sticking windows, and rattly trim.

It's a Montego estate, it can not help it.
Comfort
Loads of space, and decent headroom.

Security
No security features, although does a Montego estate need them? Lets be fair.

Three points for parts availability, but I would not pay dealer servicing prices.
