Suspension does knock a little. Better since mod. Very twitchy on motorway in crosswinds.

Average performance for auto (AL4) gearbox which is terrible at shifting.

Living with it
Reliability
So far, mine has spent more time in the garage. 1 new gerabox, 1 new fuel pump, repaired oil leaks and suspension upgrades.
Image
I think car is different and stands out in a crowd.
Comfort
Seats could be a little more supportive at the sides, but other than that it is good. The manual box has a poorer driving position.

Security and Service
Security
Good as I still have it, or that no one wants to pinch it.
Service
Having had 2 BXs and a Xantia, they have got this one really wrong for reliability.
